|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Long drive into the Hubbard Brook forest without seeing anyone else. It was my first time here, very neat. I wouldn't have concerns about driving a non-AWD car back here. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
A few were challenging rock hops, but my feet stayed dry. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Quite a few blowdowns (or chowdowns, as they were felled by beavers), some of which required leaving the trail.
I didn't find the flagging around the first beaver meadow that's mentioned on Guthook/Farout and (I think) the WMNF guide. There weren't a lot of blazes in this area and a GPS helped. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Mine had fun. Lots of water available.
I saw a few beavers around, so if they are the type to chase wildlife, be mindful. |
|
 | Bugs: |
A few were around, but no bites. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Two mylar balloons were packed out. |

 | Comments: |
A little tracing trip in this neat forest. I had heard the Hubbard Brook Tr was kind of a mess, but there's been some trail work over the last few years and I found it pretty easy to follow and surprisingly dry. See the maintenance note about the flagging. |
