We left a car on Rt. 2 and drove up Rt. 113 to the trailhead off of Little Lary Brook Rd..trail crosses bridge and swings right(arrow) on grassy logging road, then diverges left (arrow on tree); from here down to the crossing of Wheeler Brook, the trail is very grown in with hobblebush and other hardwood whips, and muddy spots..some faint white blazes and orange flagging in this area..after crossing the brook the trail becomes much more clear and ends as a wide gravel logging road..wondering if the section from Little Lary Brook Rd. to the crossings of Wheeler Brook will be abandoned, looks like no action on it!! |
