A bridge at the north end of Somerset Reservoir is in need of repair.  Except in high water conditions, it should be passable.  

Snapshot:

This is an un-groomed wilderness section offering beautiful views of Somerset Reservoir and Grout Pond. The Trail briefly shares a snowmobile trail at the south end and for several miles at the north end.

Length: 7.8 miles

Difficulty:

The terrain is easy but this is a very remote section with access points only at the south and north ends. At times, winds coming across the frozen reservoir can create challenging snowdrifts. Ninety percent of this section is ungroomed.
