Recommended Equipment
Recommended Equipment:  
Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Initial crossing right near the trailhead is a bit swollen but certainly doable with some thought. Crossing the Mad River nearer to the Timber Camp trail is a fair bit easier.  
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Trails were in stellar shape overall. A couple minor blow-downs here and there, but nothing problematic. Even the path leading to the old shelter was easily traveled.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Several cavorting canines out having their best day out.  
Bugs
Bugs: Yep. Especially around the ponds, or any wet areas, you're in their dining room. If you're not wearing bug juice, you might as well think of yourself as the mosquito equivalent of Door Dash.  
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: Lost: all the cares in the world. Found: peace and tranquility, truth and beauty.  
 
Comments
Comments: Seen along the trail: countless painted trilliums. On the Timber Camp trail, dozens of lady slippers, just about to bloom in earnest. Some fiddleheads, about to unfurl into ferns.

Photos and a more detailed trip report are on my blog.
