White Mountain National Forest - Ellsworth Pond to FSR 348 to FSR 112

Trail at a Glance

Distances

• Schoolhouse to FSR 348: 1.3 mi
• Gate to Stream Crossing: 2.0 mi
• Stream Crossing to FSR 112: 2.7 mi
• FSR 112 to Ellsworth Rd: 3.7 mi
• Ellsworth Road to Start: 5.5 mi

Difficulty: Intermediate

Parking is limited for this route, due to the proximity of private lands. Some parking is possible at the old Schoolhouse-Town Hall in Ellsworth, near the intersection of the Ellsworth-Stinson Lake Road and the road to Ellsworth Pond. Ride through Ellsworth village, past the pond for 1.3 miles. Look for Forest Service Road 348 on the left just before the dead end. Travel around the gate. Continue up hill to a clearing where a snowmobile trail crosses the headwaters of West Branch Brook, left. A logging road continues right. Dismount and cross the stream. Continue straight onto a single track and follow it .7 miles, descending to a clearing. Bear right at the clearing onto FSR 112 and follow the improved logging road to the Ellsworth-Stinson Lake Road. Turn left and return to the starting point.
