|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
There is no parking, I would say, at the Stone House Road (north) trailhead for Leach Link. (You might be able to squeeze in a car, but you'd be partially blocking the gate.) The big Baldfaces lot was nearly full, but there were still some spaces. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant, Standing/Running Water on Trail |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
About 15 yards of the Deer Hills Connector is under 3-4 inches of water. Bring sandals or get your boots wet. Ditto the Dam. An elderly gent from the AMC camp that I met there said it has been like that "since the Hurricane" (but I didn't ask whether he meant Sandy or Irene). |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Except for the underwater portions, Trails in good shape. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
|
|
 | Bugs: |
Yes, but not as bad as Shell Pond. |

 | Comments: |
Ledges Trail is signed "Not Recommended for Descent" at both ends. I agree, and today it was a bit hairy even for ascent, due to wetness of rocks. |
