Need to Know
It's unclear if you have to go through customs to hike this last portion of the trail; having a passport is recommended, though.
Description
This section, of the Cohos Trail, starts from the parking area at the bottom of the Second Connecticut Lake and follows
Idlewilde Spur. The trail turns left onto Idlewilde Road, then right onto
R & J Chaput Trail. It passes by a large balancing rock, called Lainie's Lair.
It turns right onto Route 3 (for a short distance), then turns left onto the
Lower Black Cat Trail. After crossing over a dirt road, the trail follows
Middle Black Cat Trail. Along this stretch, you'll pass by
Johnson Spring Spur, a decent place to tank up on some water.
After crossing another dirt road, the trail follows
Upper Black Cat Trail. The
Upper Black Cat Trail ends at the Lynx Trail/ NH Primary 144. Follow the snowmobile trail left until you come out to
Sophie's Lane (ATV Route). The Cohos Trail follows Sophie's Lane all the way up to "No-man's Land", in-between the two countries.
Along this stretch, is the last place to camp, before reaching the Canadian border. At "No-man's Land", take an immediate left onto the
Fourth Connecticut Lake Trail. Here, the trail weaves it's way back and forth over the two countries. The Cohos Trail ends by looping around the headwater tarn of the Connecticut River.
