About one-fourth mile east of the summit of Nebraska Notch is located the James P. Taylor Lodge, a well-built closed-in cabin of peeled logs, erected by the Burlington Section in 1926 and named for the founder of the Green Mountain Club. This lodge is provided with a good stove and bunks for at least 16 persons. No caretaker. An outlook back of the lodge affords a charming view down the steep valley to Lake Mansfield, about one mile away and over 700 feet below. The Long Trail then runs down to pretty Lake Mansfield and the Trout Club (6 miles from hotel). The Kingsford Trail (see map) shortens the distance but not the time for it is very rough. Magnificent views will well repay the hard climb en route. Allow 5 hours for the 4-mile trip. Blazes Painted blue. The Lake Mansfield Trout Club (a private club) has a beautiful, well appointed club house and is very hospitable to hikers but because of limited accommodations it is well to phone from the Summit House or from Waterbury or Bolton to be sure of rooms as its own members sometimes require all the rooms. From Lake Mansfield The Trail climbs 2,600 ft. in three miles to the summit of Bolton Mt. (splendid view from the observation tower). A mile and a half south, Dunsmoor Lodge (now in poor condition) is passed and 2 1/4 m. farther down The Trail is Bolton Lodge. This fine and comfortable cabin, built of stone and stucco to discourage porcupines, was erected in 1929 by the Burlington Section of the G. M. C. It has a good stove, and bunks for 12 or more hikers. From Bolton Lodge it is 4 miles

Care in the Open Places When coming out of the woods into the open, before proceeding, take due care of the direction of the trail and where it enters the woods beyond, and as well the point where it came out. This will prevent a great deal of confusion and delay and uncertainty.
