Gulf Brook Road is now closed and gated for the season

Gulf Brook Road is a 5.9-mile route that follows an old roadbed through the backcountry, typical of many former logging and settlement roads in the Park. The nearly 10-kilometer length makes it a solid half-day commitment, and the road-grade character generally means moderate grades and good footing. These converted roads often connect to trail networks or access quieter corners of the forest where foot traffic thins out.
