 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
These trails appear to get very little or no use, but are blazed fairly well. That said, the light blaze colors often blend in when on lighter colored trees. Without the blazes, these trails would be difficult to follow; I had to hunt briefly a few times. Several blowdowns, all of which look like they've been there a while. One large widowmaker along HGT. |

|

 | Comments: |
After a physically-distant delivery of books in Plymouth, I stopped here on the way home as I knew it was a lightly-traveled area, and sure enough, I saw no one. These trails were mostly dry except for the initial flat section of WET, which was a bit swampy. From the HOL on the HGT, I bushwhacked about 0.1 mi. to the red-blazed trail (not shown on the town's map of this area) which comes up from Steele Hill Resort, and followed that to the summit and high point, which is less than 50 ft. off the trail. |
