Tunnel Brook Trail Conditions

[dr_wu002]

Anyone walk the Tunnel Brook Trail recently? Is it still passable or have them beavers made us some new ponds in there?

The more pertinent question may be what havoc the April 15th nor'easter wreaked on this trail. The Franconia-Benton-Easton area was very hard hit with blowdowns in 15' high tangles of horizontally stacked trees. Power in the area was out for 7-10 days. It would be a long time before anyone clears the TB trail.

I hiked it about 10 days ago and it was dry as a bone. Even the section where you walked over the beaver dam was very accessable. No blowdowns on Tunnel Brook but as to Waumbeks post, the Asquam Ridge Trail was a mess.

For what its worth - hiked down the Benton trail yesterday and that was in great condition - also met a troop of boyscouts who were doing trailwork
