 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
The parking arrangement at the trailhead was new to me, but it has been a number of years since I've hiked to the Doubleheads. The small parking lot that used to be off the east side of Dundee Road has been closed. Trailhead parking has been relocated to the shoulder of Dundee Road, about 75 ft or so south of the entrance to the former trailhead parking lot. |

Doublehead Ski Trail; Old Path; segment of New Path
Visited South and North Doublehead. Began and ended my hike on Doublehead Ski Trail by doing the lollipop route (counterclockwise) which incorporates the Old Path and a segment of the New Path.
No snowshoes needed. Used Microspikes from start to finish.
