Drakes Brook/Sandwich Mtn Trailhead

This trailhead provides access to both the Sandwich Mountain and Drakes Brook trails. After the first half mile both trails are in the Sandwich Range Wilderness. The Drakes Brook trail passes a spur to Fletcher's Cascades and then ascends to intersect with the Sandwich Mountain trail at 3.2 miles. Half a mile above this intersection is the upper terminus of the Smarts Brook trail. From the parking area Sandwich Mountain trail reaches the summit after 3.9 miles, where it intersects with Bennett Street and Algonquin trails. Fine views are afforded from various sites along these trails.
