Sugarloaf Mountain Trail |

Sunday, July 14, 2024 |
|
| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Immediately after turning left into the driveway, before reaching the private residence, there is a little parking area on the left that can hold maybe two cars side-by-side; I presume that that's where one is supposed to park. There is also a little parking in pull-offs off Nash Stream Rd. nearby. |

| Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Significant |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
None worth mentioning |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Near the beginning of the trail, there is a 4-way junction where Sugarloaf Mtn. Trail goes straight, but there is a sign saying to turn left (maybe aimed at snowmobiles?). It would be helpful here to have better signage, perhaps a sign saying "Hiker Trail to Sugarloaf Mtn." pointing straight ahead.
Beyond that point, there is a section in a streambed with a lot of running water; it'd be nice if it were possible to divert more of it off the trail. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Fine for dogs. |
|
| Bugs: |
Mosquitoes, but not bad. Flies, but the kind that eat food instead of biting people. |
