A contractor for the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands will be working on the Stratton Brook Pond Road (popular access to the west side of the Bigelows) around the third week of September (mostly on weekdays). They will be brushing out the sides of the road and then pulling the wood to spots along the road where it can be chipped, and trucked out. This road is narrow and the construction equipment is large so some closure of the road and parking areas may occur during this time.
Persons looking to hike the AT or Fire Warden’s trail are asked to park at the Rt. 27 parking area and begin the hike from there instead of the Stratton Brook Pond Road.
