Date of Hike
Date of Hike: Saturday, May 30, 2015
Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: At the north end on Rte. 2, parking at the Trailhead gate would seem to block FR 8. We parked directly across the road, at the side-lot for the red colonial Antique Shop, which was open when we returned. This seems to be OK. Plenty of parking at the south end, at the gated end of Little Lary Road.
