Last fall I hiked up Knox Mt. and was surprised to cross this wide new road. I was sure it was a development road. But, on our way out, my sister and I walked quite a ways and climbed up and over several significant water bars, so we knew it was not for houseing. Then we also met some hunters and they confirmed it was a well-built road to log the area and manage it for wildlife. If you want to see a good map and learn about this Wildlife Management Area, go here: www.maine.gov/ifw/wildlife/land/department/region_a/vernonwalker.htm You can zoom in and out and change it to a street map and a topo map. Have fun!
I decided to pack up some caches and explore the area further. This cache is an old pint sized Rubbermaid container, in a slightly protected spot, not winter friendly, but with less than a foot of snow one could probably get it. Walk to the highest point of the road, then turn into the woods to reach the cache. On the day I hid this cache, I kept on walking, first down, then flat but turning back towards the west side of Knox Mt. I reached the end of this road, but kept on snowshoeing through the open woods, using my GPS as a guide as I bushwhacked back to the trail below the summit. And yes, I hid another cache...
Parking is along the side of Route 11. In the summer, there is room for several cars off of the road near the big sign. Use the coordinates for Deer Flies Delight as a guide on where to park https://coord.info/GC2C7R6 which is not too far from the road.
