| Comments: |
Nice loop, did it counter clockwise, trail well marked and the footing pretty decent everywhere. Nice log bog bridges, trail well brushed. There is snowmobile trail work going on the Mount Kineo Trail, brand new bridge over Brown Brook near Donkey Hill Cutoff intersecttion. I was pleasantly surprised how lovely and nice this trail was to trot around! |
