Recommended Equipment
Recommended Equipment:  
Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: One small crossing at the Northern end of the trail at Halfmoon Pond Road. Barely a trickle.  
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: This trail is in excellent shape. Thanks go out to the MSGTC trail keepers. There is one recent blowdown on the Northern part of the trail not far above the cellar holes. A dead pine tree. Many sharp spikes to avoid if you try to crawl over it.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Great dog hike. 
Bugs
Bugs: Surprisingly not too bad. Granted I was basted in Coleman's 40% DEET. Nice breeze at the summit and on the descent kept the bugs moving. Mostly black flies and mosquitoes.  
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: On the Northern end there is a nice red bandana tied around a tree. Maybe fell off a dog? 
 
Comments
Comments: Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway South to North, Halfmoon Pond Road.

This is a nice hike. I did the total loop which is 6.5 miles including the road walk. I hope to do it again in the autumn.
