We recently adopted a dog from the New England all lab rescue league. His name is Trout and this is one of his favorite areas for a hike. This series is in honor of him and his struggles during his life.
Wear orange during hunting season.
Easy terrain- approximately 1 hour-loops to your car
From R165 turn on to Frosty Hollow Road in Arcadia State Park. This is a dirt road, often messy in the spring. Frosty Hollow Road has a little white church at he beginning of it and a sign for Camp E-Hun-Tee. While on Frosty Hollow Road follow signs for Camp E-Hun-Tee. Go past the entrance to the camp. It will be on your right. After crossing your first wooden bridge park in the small parking area on the right. In front of your car there will be two trails. A large one with a rock at the beginning of it and a less obvious one to the right. Take the one on the right and head down to the river. You will quickly come to a moss covered stone wall. Walk half way out on the stone wall. You will see a four trunked tree on your left. Go to it. From there, take 9 paces to a home for carpenter ants, termites, and wood roaches. Under their home you will find a "river". (Stamp in your book between 2-4 times, you will be adding stamps to the river to make a scene)
Go back the way you came in and take the other trail (the one with the rock). Follow this white blazed trail. Eventually, you will go to the top of a little hill, there will be blazed tree on your right, and the trail will curve slightly to the left. Stop at that blazed tree. From there go 310 degrees for 10 paces. Under the log you will find a "Trout" for your river. Look low.
Keep following the white blazes. Go over a wooden bridge and stop at a Y intersection. Take the trail to the right. Go 7 paces and take a reading of 330 degrees. Your next "Trout" will be hiding under a tree (under the exposed roots of a tipped tree). Add it to the river.
Go back to the intersection and go the way you haven't traveled yet. Follow the white blazes. Go up a hill with big roots and steps. You will pass an old cabin on your left. Stop at the remains of an old dinning hall. Behind the chimney there will be a cabin. Search the outside of the cabin for "a ride down the river". Add this stamp to the top of your river.
Go back on the white blazed trail. It now looks like an old road. Follow it until you come to a four way intersection. You will want to leave the blazes and go straight at the intersection. If you are interested in exploring around the cabins of this old summer camp, go left at the intersection. There are many cabins. When you think you've seen them all, you'll find another one hidden in the woods.
Once you've gone staight at the intersection, you will come to a red gate. Cross the red gate and go left. You will see a low and small stone wall on your left. "A piece of the sky" will be hidden under one of the biggest rocks of the stone wall.
Keep going on the dirt road. You will go up a hill, down a hill, around a corner, and past a dog training area. Go up another hill. When your coming down this hill look for tree 162. From this tree go 30 more steps. Set in the woods a bit you will see another low stone wall. Walk straight out to it. You will find the "energy" to bring you back to your car. Add it to the sky.
Get back on the dirt road and your car will be just ahead!
