Hiking Trail Conditions Report
Peaks
Peaks Rogers Ledge, NH
Trails
Trails: Kilkenny Ridge Trail
Date of Hike
Date of Hike: Sunday, September 20, 2020
Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: I thought the gate was supposed to be open but it was locked so we parked in the small lot just outside the gate. Adds a 1.1 mile stretch along the paved access road before you get to the trailhead, so it is more of a 10.4 mile hike that the 8.2 we expected. But a beautiful day for a walk.  
Surface Conditions
Surface Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable 
Recommended Equipment
Recommended Equipment:  
Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: It’s been dry lately and all the crossings were shallow and easy to rock hop 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Trail was in good condition. A bit narrow the last couple miles in some places, probably due to lack of use, but not hard to follow.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Saw not a one, but would be very easy - nothing tricky about this one.  
Bugs
Bugs: Nope. My wife is a mosquito magnet but not a single bite.  
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: Nope.  
 
Comments
Comments: If you are looking for a socially distant hike (we were), this could be for you. Passed three guys at the pond on our way in who looked like they had backpacked in previously. Saw no one else all the way up or down until we were back at the pond, and that is on a bluebird weekend day. Nice walk in the woods with great views at the Ledge.
