| Water Crossing Notes: |
York Pond Trail had one wooden bridge and 3 other crossings were easy walk through in shallow water. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
These trails are in fair shape. The footpath is worn but there are a lot of ferns and some grass that you have to look through to make your way so that you can step well and miss the roots and rocks. There are many blowdowns on the Weeks section of the KRT to walk around or over or duck under. There are some faint yellow blazes that need to be refreshed. I clipped some branches as I hiked with a pair of hand pruners. |

| Comments: |
A great day with temps from 50 to 75, sunny sky with some clouds. Saw 2 hikers at Mt Waumbek and had the rest of the trails to myself. Saw some moose tracks in the mud on the York Pond Trail and enjoyed the birds singing all day. |
