Madison County, NY

The state owns most of the valley, including Beaver Creek below.

The land around the trail did not have as much snow left on it, because the trail had it's snow well packed down by the weight of snowmobiles riding through here, the whole winter season.

A very tall and magnificent series of White Pine Plantation remains along truck trail. Unfortunately, these White Pines will probably eventually be logged or otherwise die, such as from a wind storm. White Pine is an exceptionally softwood, and when they get this big they tend not to last.

This is one of the camping areas designated on the Brookfield Trail System Map. As far as I could tell there was no developed facilities here besides the lone picnic table. There must be firepits somewheres under the one or two feet of snow.

There is a privately owned parcel nearby, which the old woods road goes through, and the horse trail and truck trail turns slightly north on a parallel road to avoid it.

Heading up to the camping area indicated on the Brookfield Trail System Map. In another week or two, I probably could drive up this road.
