 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Main parking lot can be found at the end of Union Street in Manchester. This lot was plowed and was at about half-capacity when I arrived early afternoon. Higher-capacity parking can be found lower on Union Street, to the right when looking at the mountain; this is an overflow parking lot for Burr and Burton and should not be used during school hours. This lot has a link to the Blue Trail near the athletics field behind the academic building. |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
There are no water crossings on this trail, although there is a spur trail about halfway up to a spring. Sounded like the spring was still running today. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The lower-elevation trails within the Preserve Trust were being plowed today for access to the Thompson's Acres property. Hikers should be aware that plow trucks can be on the trail for the first half-mile from the parking lot. |

Per Equinox Preserve Trust rules, dogs must be under control at all times and on leash when approaching other trail users. Clean-up bags are available at kiosks at the beginnings of each trail. |
