Note: The Washington Mountain Marsh Trail was in poor shape. The entire trail was mostly on bog planks and over the years it had rotted leaving some planks under water and unstable. In 2021 DCR rebuilt this trail and also re-routed it so that is it now mostly in the forest. Good news is it is hikeable again!
