Rob Brook Road

CANCELED.  Where'd this rain come from?


The Rob Brook Road Loop is a valley classic.   This is a rolling 12 mile ride, suitable for all abilities, mostly on a winding dirt forest road with the last few miles on the Kanc and Bear Notch Road. There are small hills to climb and even though it's one of our shorter rides. you (and your gears) will get a good workout on this ride.  

Marty Basch describes this ride in his White Mountain Ride Guide as follows "The road winds by streams and huge boulders. Spotting signs of moose and deer are common. A few quick climbs are rewarded with refreshing downhills."

Plan on getting your feet wet as you need to cross the Swift River to get to the Kanc. You may want to bring an extra pair of shoes to get you across the river.  Just after you cross the river look slightly right and follow that path a short way to the Kanc. Go left (east) on the Kanc.   

A good lunch spot is at The Russell Colbath House (on The Kanc) where there are picnic benches by the barn. After lunch continue eastward on the Kanc until Bear Notch Road appears on the left.

The Trail Head and parking are on the west side of Bear Notch Road .75 mi north of the intersection with The Kanc. Meet at the trailhead at 10:00am.
