After Bob's posting about the trail logs, I was looking through some of my old hiking books from the Lowe's, and found an interesting reference to a "Three Lynx Way Trail" heading off of the Grouse Point trail SE of where the Serene Lake trail intersects it. I had not heard about this trail before, so decided to go look at the venerable '38 map to see if I could see it, and sure enough, it shows a way trail in about the right spot heading SW:
Has anyone ever found this trail? And what trail did it connect to? It kind of looks like it would have intersected part of what is now known as the Cripple Creek trail?
I also found it interesting that the old 511 trail up the South Fork Roaring River is referenced in their hiking books, although they show it stopping not too far from where it intersected the Serene Lake trail.
We use to use it for maintenance runs.
Have they closed those roads up there yet?
I could show you but I will not hike decom roads in a wilderness.

Did it intersect the 4635-140 spur? Or maybe the 025 spur? Kind of looks like it followed the path of that 025 spur down to the 140 spur. The green is the Cripple Creek and Grouse Point trails, and the red is a tracing of roughly where the '38 map shows that way trail going. The '38 map is overlaid on a recent USGS topo map.
I haven't been up in that area for a few years, so I don't know if they've closed any roads up there or not.
Field trip.

The junction with the Grouse Point trail is still evident. The last time I passed that way I marked it on my gps. The coordinates are 45 08.638N, 122 00.738W.
