a new member of the boards, lwtrekpa, recently posted an Outing Critique for this wonderful hike. I had hesitated posting the hike when Hossier showed it to us primarily because of the very steep descent along the dam fence and the need to ford the spillway at the end of the hike. He had found another way:
"The 3rd caveat (in the description) is not all true. If doing the full loop and you find yourself on the path above the dam, the trail continues on in a slight upward path back into woods on a defined path down thru woods and brings you out on the back side of one of the municipal buildings that you passed on your trek up to the dam at the start of hike. I'm most certain the municipality of Lebanon would not want people hanging on their chain link fence in an attempt to descend the hill and then have people try and rock hop across what would considered a spillway to the dam."
If anyone has a GPX file showing this last trail I will use it to amend the hike and give "the new guy" and you credit.
