[Maine-birds] Re: Brownfield bog access

The access to the bog itself is off from Bog Rd-a dirt road off from Lords Hill Rd. Up until the first gate is owned partially by private landowners, so please respect the landowners and obey seasonal road closure signs when they are present. The road and gates are currently open-they get opened whenever they dry out in spring. Canoeing or kayaking are a great way to cover the area, but there's plenty of area to walk as well. Canoe access points are at the end of Bog rd for the largest wetland (aka Great Bog), and at the Gray building for the Old River Course and Bald Bog.
 
There are additional access points to other areas of the Wildlife Management Area, primarily off from Route 5/113.

There was a great trip report from Brownfield Bog a few days ago. we're planning a trip. It's been a long time since I've been there. I do have Bob Duchesne's book with its info on access. I remember last year that there was a report of a closed gate and a longish walk. Can anyone give up to date advice on access? Is a canoe a good idea? Thanks.
