A gated road welcoming foottraffic along with a trail sign indicate where hikers should park (being careful not to block the gate). This trail meanders through beautiful hardwood stands, followes Little Lary Brook, and ends at Little Larry Road, off of ME 113. The trailhead is not plowed in the winter and there are no amenities.

This trail travels northwest along Wheeler Brook through lovely hardwood trees and ends at US Route 2 in Gilead, Maine.

About this trail's facts
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
