Land OwnerNew Hampshire State Parks
This trail is divided by Spruce Pond Road. The southern part of the trail is fairly wide and can become rather muddy. This side of the trail does provide access to the foundation of an old mill and a few brook crossings. The northern
side of the trail leads to Smith Pond. This is a beautiful area with access to a lean-to.
Camping is prohibited at the lean-to. The trail north of campground road is a bit narrower. A great trail for cross-country skiing in the winter.

Question: What is worse than "meh"?
Answer: this "trail", well it's not a trail actually, it's another forest service road.
As NERider said it does connect some fun trails with some other fun trails, but I recommend you find another connection.

Wet! Very wet and several flowing stream crossings, muddy in a lot of spots.

I rode it Northeast to Southwest and it wasn’t memorable. Not terrible but definitely not something you should seek to do unless it’s to connect you from one better Trail to the other like from Hemloc to the Bear Hill / hedgehog ledge group of trails
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
