Overview
This gravel access road is used to reach the top of Catamount Trail, Upper Catamount Trail, and a number of others. The gate at the trailhead is open from May 20 - November 1 so there may be vehicles to watch out for. It's a pretty rough and bumpy road, especially if you're descending it after riding up the Catamount Trail instead of down.<br><br>Use the pink paw prints painted on small signs, rocks and gate posts to find the Catamount Trail on either end.
