 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Long Pond Road is still closed due to washout and it looks like it will be closed for some time due to maintenance on the road even though it’s easiky passable. The road into the western trailhead is bumpy and has lots of potholes. I’d go slow in a low clearance vehicle to try and avoid them and not scrap your undercarriage. Not a whole lot of room to park at either trailhead but luckily these trailheads aren’t busy. |

|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
None that I recall on the eastern side. A few on the western side. All rock hops and not an issue. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Several easy stepovers mostly on the western side. The trail is blazed in yellow although the blaze is quite sparse on the western side. The footbed is obvious making the trail easy to follow. The only confusing section is with all the logging roads on the western side where I recommend you have the trail description with you. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I imagine they’d be fine. |
|
 | Bugs: |
The black flies were swarming once we stopped when in the woods. I recommend spray and a head net. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Found a rusty old key on Long Pond Road.
