At the Flat Mountain Pond Trail parking area off Bennett St. in Sandwich. |

Dry Trail |

 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
No issues. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
GPT has a few blowdowns left; I removed a few small ones. The bypass around the beaver pond going southbound needs to be better marked (even some flagging would do) and requires a short bushwhack to reach due to flooding. It's easier to follow going northbound. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Sure. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Mosquitoes were annoying when stopped. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Nothing. |

 | Comments: |
To follow up on my earlier visit, this was a walk in from the north to complete the check on the trail. The only real problem area is the beaver pond issue noted above. Bushwhackers and those good with route-finding should be fine, but this could be tricky for beginner hikers. Some old yellow blazes remain once on the bypass proper. Otherwise, these trails are in good shape. The dry spell continues; any muddy areas are pretty much dried up at the moment. |
