Just a couple of reminders from the White Mountain National Forest for those that may not be aware.
Hikers Alert!
Bridge Project Will Affect Access to Kilkenny Recreation Sites
Bridge work within the York Pond Fish Hatchery will affect hiker access
to several trailheads in the Kilkenny region of the White Mountain
National Forest this summer.
The work is scheduled to begin in mid-August and run through December 2005.
The project will include replacing a road bridge over Cold Brook.
During the bridge replacement, public vehicles will not have access
beyond the hatchery parking area at Cold Brook. Hikers wishing to
access the east end of the York Pond Trail, Bunnell Notch Trail, or the
south end of the Unknown Pond Trail will be required to walk
approximately two miles along the York Pond Road to these trailheads.
Hikers wishing to access Unknown Pond may choose the north end of
this trail as an alternative. The trailhead is located near the end of the
Mill Brook Road off Route 110 in Stark. However, access to Mt. Cabot
and Mt. Cabot Cabin will require additional effort, as access to the Mt.
Cabot trail from the west remains closed.
For more information please contact the White Mountain National
Forest, Androscoggin Ranger District, at (603) 466-2713 or TTY (603)
466-2856 or stop by the ranger station on Route 16, three miles south of
Gorham, NH.
