 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Maine mountain guide mentions parking at brook trailhead for tumbledown and then taking the little Jackson connector to meet up with trail. There is limited parking at the little Jackson trailhead which is listed in the guide as closed though there were 4 cars there today. For those interested - its down a single lane dirt road - the first right after the mountain view cemetery on Byron Road for those coming from Weld Drive all the way to the end and up a short steep pitch - room for about 5 cars - if full there is a grassy spot just down from the trail head. |
