Currier Brook Trail. (W.M.N.F.)
Mt. Paugus may be reached from Albany Intervale by this Class 3 trail or “manway,” which leaves the S. side of the Albany Road at a sign W. of Currier Brook. It follows logging-roads nearly to the summit, crossing and recrossing the stream. At about 2 m. it passes an abandoned lumber camp and, shortly beyond, ascends the W. side of the ravine, avoiding the precipitous face of Mt. Paugus in favor of a spur. It follows this spur to the wooded summit, crosses the latter and continues S. to the open ledges and the Old Paugus Trail. Distance. 3 ½ m. (3 hrs.).
