| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Roadside parking at a pull-off along Rt. 101 across from the trailhead. There are now roadside signs marking the entrance to the trail. A sign at the trailhead states access is only from 8am to 6pm. The state of RI now owns the hill, but the trail abuts private property on both sides. Please respect the neighbors. |

Hahaha! NO. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail is in fantastic shape. Clear signage and two USGS benchmarks have been cleared and signed for enthusiasts of such. I think that is new since my last visit. One branch down across the trail, I guess technically it's a blowdown. ;) |

Sure! |
|
| Bugs: |
A couple of fly-ey things. |
|
| Lost and Found: |
Nothing. |

Since I was passing through the area, I decided to stop and hit RI's state highpoint (812') again. This hike is a very taxing 200 yards with 10 ft. of elevation gain. ;) There's now an artistic cairn on the summit boulder, and prayer flags in the trees above. The guest log in is a metal ammo box (the old mailbox is gone) and is damp, but not too bad. |
