I have a place a few hundred feet off town hall Road and am considering getting a sled. I am told there is a great trail access point up Town Hall Road. Is it legal to sled up/along Town Hall Road? Or must one trailer up to the trailhead? In other words, can I sled from my home up to the trails or is this a total no-no. Any info is appreciated! - Rich

You are correct, there are great trails off Town Hall Road. From those trails you can access Corridor 19, which is the major North-South Tail on the Eastern side of the State. I'm not sure just where your place is, but I would assume you would have to trailer up to the parking lot.

Is there no chance an agreement can be worked out with abbutting landowners? The law says (I think?) you can ride a certain distance from trail to trail...maybe that is for wheeled toys though.

Skip, can you she some light on this?

Unfortunately he either must obtain landowner's permissions or trailer up to the trailhead.

The only real longshot would be to obtain town permission to operate on the shoulder or ROW, but there are many conditions, restrictions & legal requirements that become ever more cumbersome with distance

CFK...do you know where the trail from Town Hall Rd dumps you out on 19n? Im trying to figure out the fastest way for me to get from Conway to Evergreen Valley. We used to park in East Conway but if I can shorten that up it would be great!

It is North of Hurricane Mtn. Road, but I can't remember just how far north it is Where are you trailing from?

It would be much quicker for you to unload at Town Hall Rd rather then trailering all the way to East Conway.

Cool, thats what I was thinking. Ive been going up there for 20 years and used to shoot way up on Townhall road but never realized you could park your trailer there.

The Town Hall Rd. lot will put you closer to Evergreen Valley for sure but you will have to keep your fingers crossed on the backside before you get to 19....it can be a little dicey at times. It dumps you off on 19 in N. Fryeburg quite a ways up past Hurricane Rd.. Should be about a 20-25 min. ride to Evergreen Valley. Like CKF said it would be quicker to unload at Town Hall but it is probably quicker riding time wise to park at Pete's Garage in N. Fryeburg and then head up the lake to Evergreen Valley but it is not a well marked route and unless you know how to go....I wouldn't.....especially at night.....especially when it's snowing at night. Be on the lookout for people walking their dogs and cross country skiers right after the parking area also. When groomed and with plentiful snow this area is usually very nice as it is a little out of the way and you don't get too much traffic up that way.
