Thanks for the responses. The old tower man's trail is no longer maintained, or even traversable due to logging.
The active trailhead is exactly 1 mile northeast of Aziscohos dam. At present the "AAA" on the telephone pole is in place, but can be hard to see.
I will try to check the current...
Has anyone been up Aziscohos recently? There are no entries in NETC.
I had heard the trail was closed due to logging earlier in the summer, and I am hoping that is done and the trail open as I need to pass by that way in a few weeks and it's a personal favorite.
Thanks
I had a family issue and could not attend. I have an associate that was there for another matter and also had to leave before the Cog presentation. However, he indicated the only people in the meeting room were the planning board and a representative from the Cog.
For anyone interested, the Coos County planning board agenda has been updated to include the following items:

The last part of Dave's post is not correct. Cabin rentals in the Dartmouth Grant are not available for those not affiliated with the college.
Mt Aziscohos has great views. Trailhead is 1 mile north of the dam on RT16--not always clearly marked. Campground staff can probably provide good...
Many towns have water bans this year due to the presence of "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in drinking water. I think the EPA changed, or will change, the allowable limit and many towns are having difficulty finding the required filters due to pandemic-related shortages. I know in my brother's town...
2021 Update from Gorham.
The 101-108 Main ST shops are seeing some changes:
There is a new coffee shop with pretty good expresso, coffee, etc. called Dermody Road that soft-opened last week at 101 Main ST. Pretty decent yeasty cinnamon roll and coffee from there yesterday. Funky inside with lots...
Thanks for sharing. Do I see snow deep inside?
Just downslope from there, Dixie Brook is rumored to have a reasonably-sized cascade/falls. I tried to find it two years ago, but logging in the area made to going tough and I turned back. I'm hoping to try again this summer.
Between the loss of the wood pulp market just over the border in Jay Maine (Pixel) and the lack of snow for snowmobiling, I know more than a few people in Coos County that are starting to get pretty nervous about the next 6 months. Without a sufficient market for low grade wood, it will be...
Big Agnes also has/had a DownTek vest: Big Agnes Men's Ways Gulch Vest
Sold out on their website but REI and Moosejaw seem to still have stock in smaller sizes.
Something tells me Dartmouth is not going to like a major (potentially overnight) bike race running through their property right now. Camping has always been verboten and all cabins are currently closed; researchers and loggers on the property are required to wear masks and do daily health checks.
