| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Slippery Brook Road is in A1 condition and the FS was out with their grader and york rake touching it up. Plenty of parking at the gate--I was only car at end of road but there were a few parked at the Mountain Pond Trailhead. |

| Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |

|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
During my bushwhack of old Slippery Brook Trail required crossing Slippery Brook four times and it was an easy rock hop due to low water. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail in excellent condition, I believe someone has been out since Amicus' trip. Trail clear and easy to follow, the arrows on the woods road walk are on the ground leaning on trees and pointing the correct forest road to follow. Good trail but there are no blazes or signs on this south section of Slippery Brook. Eastman Mountain Trail is well blazed and clear. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
sure why not but water not to be found up high |
|
| Bugs: |
none |
|
| Lost and Found: |
Hiking poles at trailhead. I took them with me figuring no one would want to drive 5 miles out there on that dirt road and I thought I knew who they might belong to but I was wrong. Email me if they're yours and I will get them back to you! |
