Plenty of parking at the Kanc's Oliverian Brook lot. They charge the $3 for which they're required to provide "amenities," the nearest of which, as their sign informs you, is the Sabbaday Falls outhouses 2.2 miles down the road! |

The bog bridges on the Oliverian Brook Tr. and Passaconaway Cutoff are nearly all rotted away. I would avoid these trails in wet conditions (unless frozen). |

| Comments: |
Redlining can be fun. These trails would be really muddy if it were wet, but were good today. Nice views from Square Ledge (as I knew from a prior hike) and lots of attractive hemlock groves and a babbling Brook - refreshing on a muggy day. |
