Join me for this 5.5 mile snowshoe trek into the Hamlin Recreation and Conservation Area.  This trip follows the Crocketts Ledge Loop Trail, which offers views of Beaver Meadow, old-growth forest, ledges, Lake Wicwas and the White Mountains.  The total elevation gain is only 300 feet reaching an elevation of 900 feet at the ledges. 

Trailhead:  From Rt. 93 take Exit 23 and continue on Rt. 104 to Meredith Center Road (approximately 4.8 miles).  Take a right onto Meredith Center Rd and continue until Chemung Road is reached.  Take this right and follow the signs for the Hamlin area parking lot. Look for a grey Toyota Corolla.  The week of the trip, I'll send out details for carpooling to the trailhead, if anyone wishes. 

What to Bring:  Please dress accordingly for a day in winter conditions, bring your snowshoes and wear appropriate boots with thick socks.  Also bring along snacks, water, lunch and anything else you may require for the day. 

Afterwards:  We should be completed with the hike by 4-5 PM.  If there is sufficient interest, we'll cap the day off with dinner/drinks in the area afterwards.
