|  | Date of Hike: | Thursday, June 26, 2025 |  |  |  |  | Parking/Access Road Notes: | Gate is still closed for "mud season" - we had to park opposite road in pulloff on Route 3.   Walked around .6 each way to get to the trailhead. |  |  |  |  | Surface Conditions: | Dry Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Significant |  |  |  |  | Recommended Equipment: |  |  |  |  |  | Water Crossing Notes: | most were easy, some were slippery |  |  |  |  | Trail Maintenance Notes: | as previously mentioned, there are a lot of blowdowns - perhaps 20-ish overall with around 8 of those being super significant.   I got pretty scratched up going under, over, and around the spruce.   Reminded me of a WMNF wilderness trail. |  |  |  |  | Dog-Related Notes: |  |  |  |  |  | Bugs: | pretty bad - I actually applied DEET twice.... yes, twice |  |  |  |  | Lost and Found: |  |  |  |

|  |  |  | Comments: | Terrific morning hike - lovely woods - just striking, as always.  Didn't bring a saw or plan time to remove all the blowdowns - there is a lot of work to be done.   Didn't see any moosies, but, did see some tracks. |  |  |  |  | Name: | Becca Munroe |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: |  |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2025-06-27 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
