Here are the areas covered by FS maps. If you zoom in to a particular area, such as here, you will see that all of the information that you are used to seeing is still there. I suspect that much of your hiking has been near or in NF land and that is why you were used to seeing the FS maps. If...

Forest Service maps only cover Forest Service land (and maybe neighboring land). But, why are you sharing hiking routes on Facebook?

Yes, you've posted correctly. If the celebration is to be open to the public, you could post the information on this thread or create a new one. If it's not going to be open to the public, but you would like to invite members of this forum, you could ask those interested to send you a private...

Wow! That is a shock. Dennis was a large part of this forum and kept us up-to-date on the goings-on up north. Thank you, @whitemtntimber for letting us know.

Also, from the NH State Parks site: Due to recent storm damage, these roads are currently closed to vehicles until repairs can be made: Big Brook, Indian Stream, Hall Stream, West Side Indian Stream Road, Coon Brook, Sophies Lane, and Trussell Brook that goes to Beaman Hill. Persons traveling...

That's a bit simplistic for the real world. Better manufacturers? Is a manufacturer who is able to offer a high-performing product at a less expensive price because they ignore/get around/avoid OSHA, environmental, labor laws a better manufacturer? Are manufacturers who use child labor better so...

Post-Beryl Flooding Update: Perry Stream Rd. and Indian Stream Rd. are both currently closed due to washouts. The detour via Rump Mtn Trail & Beaman Hill Trail around the East Inlet bridge closure is currently not passable. East Inlet Rd. remains open to within 0.2 miles of East Inlet...

Right! I also carry a tire puncture repair kit, an compressor/inflator, and when I'm on solo trips, I usually bring a mountain bike. On Saturday, heading on Beaudry Rd. back to Route 27 from Kibby Mountain, I punctured my front left tire and used the repair kit for the first time. It saved the...

I agree. I also question how much of the goal is the parents' versus the child's. Getting kids outside is essential, but is turning them into peakbaggers before kindergarten a healthy way to do so?

Updated gate status as of 6/11/24 for the Ct. Lakes Headwaters Working Forest. Washout off of Scott Brook Rd. is 0.1 mile from the Scott Bog dam and put-in. East Inlet Rd. from the West is closed 0.2 mile from East Inlet Flowage. NHF&G is working with timberland owner to get a temporary bridge...

Let's hope that regardless of the outcome, that the state sees the value of keeping the roads open. If not for logging, for tourism. (OTH, too much tourism could rob the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters Working Forest and the rest of the Great North Woods of its special character.) As of last...

[This thread should be move to the "New England Backcountry/Hiking Forum"] Yes, there's only one trailhead. It's a nice, fun, relatively easy hike, ~2 miles round trip. The Bobcat Trail is more interesting that the Coot Trail, although descending the Coot might be slightly harder on the knees...

I am sure you can, too. I understand the wilderness argument and could agree with it, except that by clearly marking the summit, they limit the amount of wear in the summit area. And, the entries in the New England summit logs are special, but to understand how, you have to read them. I happen...

I think the symbol was defacing the mountain, just as crosses, Tibetan prayer flags, rock figures, private memorial plaques, et cetera are inappropriate. Admittedly I feel differently about summit canisters and summit signs, but they serve a purpose that isn't related to any individual's...

Here's a more ethical source: https://www.conwaydailysun.com/news/local/forest-service-closes-roads-due-to-storm-damage/article_0a2f06ec-191f-11ef-a033-6f8875893a62.html (The OP's link is to an Outside website.)

It would seem from FB that there are a number of people working on some of the lower-elevation NH lists, and I wonder if they're working on them instead of the NE3ks, because of the driving distance to Maine. If you look at Newenglandtrailconditions.com, there are a couple of names that look...

I was thinking that you would be. I'm certainly glad to have done the peaks listed above, even if most are accessible from Quebec. But I've also done some paddling up there and I'd hoped to bring my family paddling up there later this summer.

OTOH, isn't tourism the primary other source for the local economy? Passable roads are needed to sustain tourism, no? East Inlet Flowage and Boundary Pond are two of Pittsburg's more accessible gems.

New Hampshire Fish & Game Press Release. Due to a prolonged mud season and deterioration of at least one bridge, East Inlet Rd. is closed indefinitely. This means that access to areas east of Rt. 3 north of Second Connecticut Lake is closed, including access from the United Sates to NH200 peaks...

Sawyer has a 20% DEET lotion that they call "controlled-release." My family has used the old 30% version, which worked well, but I'm not sure how the newer formula works.
