Greetings fellow hikers,
I got permission to hike on private property conserved by Bear Paw Land trust.
It is Al Jaeger's property in Deerfield. Part of great Brook runs thru Al's property.
He has lived off the grid there since the 70s. He is an artist, mostly works with clay materials. He has a show room on the property. His property is one of the Deerfield arts festival sites. He has the hottest kiln in the state, used by the NH pottery guild and league of craftsmen. His property has a pond with a ledge overlooking it. The trail is hilly & has a brook. Some of the best things to see are on Al's property. There are a few wood bridges crossing the brook. Expect this to be a 5 + mile hike if we check out Al's property. If he's around, he may allow us to see his show room and walk his amazing garden. Al has done much of the trail work on Great Brook. This could go over 3 hours. Al is a retired Board of Director for Bear Paw & still involved.
I'll have a sign so you will know when you get to the parking area entrance. It's not easy to see from the unpaved road. From route 43, drive south on Coffeetown Road for approximately 1.8 miles. The parking area is on the right.
