Drakes Brook Trail parking lot was open but not plowed (about 3 inches of fresh snow). |
|

Dry Trail, Snow - Unpacked Powder |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
Many minor water crossings that were easily negotiable.
Crossing Drake's Brook, however, was a bit of a challenge. My 40 lb. dog crossed first and went through the ice right at the trail crossing. (She is fine) I walked about 10 feet up-stream of the brook and crossed where the water was shallower and the ice sheet held. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Two large trees down on Drake's Brook Trail but both were easily negotiable. |

Beautiful day for the pup. |
