Park near the intersection of Rte. 175 and Thornton Gore Road, which is located 0.5 mile north of the KOA campground on Rte. 175. Follow Thornton Gore road (away from the highway) and continue to bear left beyond the sign to "Little Portsmouth." Continue to bear left on the road. Pass a Forest Service gate and follow Forest Service Road 423 straight past a righthand bend in the road (see Jeep Road Route) to a crossing of Eastman Brook at 3 miles. Continue uphill on the Talford Brook Road to an intersection with Tripoli Road. Make a loop by going left onto Tripoli Road and continuing down hill west. Look for a gated trail (FSR 426) and turn left. The trail crosses Eastman Brook and rejoins Forest Service Road 423. There is an old mill site at this intersection. Cross the stream and go right. Follow Forest Service Road 423 and Gore Road to pavement and return to Rte. 175.
