| Comments: |
Wonderful afternoon walk through the Groton State Forest on a well maintained, well marked trail. Accessed the trailhead for this 4.4 mile out-and-back trail through the State Parks Maintenance Yard. Summit of Owl's Head not above treeline but still presented great views of Green Mountain range to Camel's Hump, Kettle Pond, Spruce Mountain, and Groton Pond. |
