Located in the southern Green Mountains, Forest Road 71 connects Somerset Road with Kelley Stand Road, and offers nearly 9 miles of scenic driving following the East Branch of the Deerfield River, with roadside campsites along it’s length. Notable designations include the former Somerset Airfield and the beautiful wetlands known as Shep Meadow.
I spoke the Forest Service this morning. It wasn’t open during Memorial Day Weekend due to construction. The FS is still working on it, they said their could be delays and some sections are narrow.
