Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Conant Trail
The Conant Trail

Route: Mine Road, Conant Trail, Mine Loop

Plan C, after turning the corner to see rain in Evans Notch. Rain eventually worked its way up here as well, resulting in wet feet on the grassy lower Mine Loop.

Conant Trail is flooded by beavers in the same place as it has been for a few years (the road portion west of Pine Hill). Saw a beaver swim across that portion of the road, in fact. No obvious way around the flooding without bushwhacking (flooding on both sides of the flooded road).

Directions to trailhead: From Route 113 in Stow, take New Road (Meadow Road) east, then take a right onto Union Hill Road (Butters Road). Eventually this leads to Foxboro Road (take a left). One should be able to drive past Lord Cemetery to a grassy area (with a left turn), where one can park and continue straight ahead, eventually reaching the Conant Trail between Pine Hill and Lord Hill.
