Monad-Pack Connector Route (rough proposal)
This is not a trail. It is a proposed trail. As such, portions of it
cross private land where permission to cross has not been established.
Please do not trespass without permission; use roads as alternatives.
***Important update*** The Monadnock Conservancy recently built a trail from Pack Monadnock to the bike path in Peterborough, similar (but not exactly the same) as the proposed Cranberry Meadow route shown below. This trail completes half of the proposed route from Pack Monadnock to Monadnock. Although I have not had the opportunity to update the map below, please see their website for a color topographic map of this wonderful new trail.
Red= existing trail
Orange= possible route (both public and private land)
Blue=roads
Green=Wapack Trail to North Pack
From west to east:
1. Mount Monadnock to Thorndike Pond (public domain)
2. Circum Thorndike Pond (roads, public & priviate land)
