 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Somewhat limited room at the Weathersfield trailhead. The lot can hold about a dozen cars, but there's not a whole lot of room to park roadside. Either get here early or later in the day, after the first wave of hikers leaves, for a good shot at a parking spot. |

There are a few water sources along the way, but they have potential to go dry, so bring water for them just in case. |

 | Comments: |
The trails I took were a mix of dry ground, wet ground and wet rock. No mud that I remember. The trails on Ascutney are some of the best built and maintained I've ever seen, and they are a joy to hike. I'll definitely be back in the (hopefully) near future. |
