The crossing across the Mad River where the XC skiing trail diverges south of the ponds was challenging for some. We crossed using branches debris crossing the River while one member of our group decided to just put his feet in the water and cross. |

| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Greeley Ponds trail was well maintained with no blow downs. The trail between the two ponds is marshy and quite wet. It could use more log bridges to help. |

| Comments: |
Greeley Ponds Trail is dry with a handful of tiny brook crossings easily stepped over and well maintained throughout. Saw a few cyclists while I was out, so keep an eye out for them. Water at the river crossing was a bit high so we used the debris from branches to cross. The trail between the two ponds is narrow and hugs the southern pond for a stretch, resulting in some swampiness that a few well placed log bridges would help deal with. |
