|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
Could not cross the Cold River on the dam. Water was moving very fast albeit only a foot deep on the "steps". Could not find another spot to cross as water was too deep/fast/cold. Honestly, I assumed this would be the case. Drove over to Leach Link Trailhead to bypass river. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Large blow down on Horseshoe Pond Trail but other than that all trails in good shape. |

| Comments: |
The majority of all of the trails were dry or at least not muddy. The logging road up to Pine Hill (Conant Trail) was soggy/muddy for a short distance at the beginning. No problems with the beaver area thankfully. The logged area was easy to follow with yellow blazes/ribbons. Mine Loop connector had muddy spots but they were avoidable. Deer Hill trail up to Deer Hill from Deer Hill Road is in great condition. Dry and completely free of leaves. Lots of miles but great to hike in a t-shirt again. |
