Topographic map of Asheulot
Official brown trail signs as well as a spot-check conducted on July 7, 1998 at all public road crossings indicate that the trail is usable in both directions from the Asheulot Depot.

The Ashuelot Bridge (Covered Bridge #1) is near the Asheulot
Depot.
The Sheridan House is adjacent to the Asheulot Depot. The sign in
front of this historic building notes that it has been restored
by the Winchester Historical Society.
The Asheulot Post Office is located across the covered bridge and
a short distance west on Route 119.
Note that the trail is located at the south (back edge) of the old mill buildings that are visible from Route 119 at Recycle Way Bridge. The trail runs alongside a series of overgrown green boxcars that line an isolated railroad track along the back side of the mill. Railfans will note that the boxcars are painted for the Green Mountain Railroad and are numbered as GMRC 399, 382, 379, 378, 360, 398, 350, 383, & 391.
