The trail begins at the NH State Line, a short distance south of the Morse Road Crossing. Note that this steep gravel road is just barely wide enough for two way traffic, and thus it is not realistic for an automobile driver to wait for a trail user near the crossing. The intersection of Morse Road & Rte 123 (downhill to the west) is suggested as a more appropriate meeting place!
The trail crosses Jackson Road on a stone arch bridge, with high and narrow embankments on either side. Trail users are strongly discouraged from entering or leaving the trail near the Jackson Street overpass, to avoid damage to the ground cover that protects the steep slopes of the embankments. Once these important plants are destroyed, natural forces will quickly destroy the railroad embankment and thus sever the trail at this point!
Simple public access is available for 'street legal' trail users at the
following points:
Parking is available on the site of Mason Depot at the Depot Road Crossing.
No other trail facilities were observed within a reasonable distance of the trail!

Unintentional errors are likely!
