Thanks for the info; totally missed the map mailbox. I’ll add it to the hike description so others will know to look for it.

Just wanted to mention that there IS a place with paper maps, but it’s not very noticeable. I didn’t see it until I watched someone pull a map out of it. There is a little wooden mailbox labeled “maps” that is actually on the fence between the trail and the parking lot. It’s near the kiosk, to the right if you are in the parking lot. We (the dog and I) hiked there yesterday, both the Red and White trails. They were confusing and yes, not too many picturesque scenes, but the sun coming through the trees was nice. We saw a LOT of wildlife there, esp on the White trail, more than any other hike we’ve taken, in NJ and Maine.

Wells Mills has always been one of the worst areas for ticks. First time we hiked , I had multiple ticks on my pants… most guides I’ve seen warn about the ticks there.

We did that hike in June 2010 when it was horribly hot. They were pumping out the port-a-potty that day- very odiferous, but I guess they have to do it sometime! The wild roses were in bloom by the lake, which were lovely, and it was cooler under the pines. I didn’t like crossing the busy road, nor the suprise of mountain bikers. But there were herons, a waterfall, and it was short drive!

The Connect site is a whole different site platform that allows for users to add content like their own blogs or photos, while the Trail Blog is a regular blog with comments. We’ve had the blog since about 2006 or so, while the Connect site was created at the end of last year. Sorry for any confusion!
