Trail Name: Trout Brook
Town: Easton
Trail Conditions: Leaf and debris covered, some blow down, rideable, dry, some stream or ponding of water where I have never seen it before
Observations/Information: Three of us met to ride at Trout Brook. Much of the blow downs by the Elm Street cul de sac were cleared by what looked like a chain saw. Further into the woods we cleared three small blow downs, leaving approximately three large blow downs for the chain saw crew. Lost track of the trail twice due to the trail being covered with leaves and small branches. The steep inclines/declines showed some erosion. There was a new trail reroute around a debris field. The new switchback recently constructed, I believe it was on the blue trail where it intersects with I believe the white held up well. The part where it rejoins the old trail showed some signs of erosion. The, I believe white trail which goes through a rock garden, then over a wooden bridge, then another rock garden...the bridge appeared to have moved approximately 3-4 feet downstream and the rock ramps were eroded and or no longer in existance. All trails were basically dry and rideable, all new water areas were rideable, except for one which looked pretty deep. All in all, a good ride.
