Trails: Thompson Road, Doublehead Trail, Crawford-Ridgepole Trail
Conditions: Trails in O.K. shape. There were some blowdowns that can all be easily gotten over, under, or around. Thompson is a gravel road in very good shape.
Note: As directed in the guidebook, I parked at the pullout off Route 113 (no shade) and walked in the 0.9 miles to the Doublehead Trail. A mixed hiking group could drive in and drop off slower hikers, while the stronger hiker(s) go back and park the car(s).
Comment: There are excellent south-facing lake views from the ledges. I also continued the short distance to the Crawford-Ridgepole Trail and easterly to just beyond the (wooded) summit of East Doublehead, for views north of the Sandwich Range and Tripyramids.
