Guinea Pond Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
No Fee Required.
The Guinea Pond Trailhead serves as a good lauching off point into the Sandwich Range Wilderness Area. Parking lies past the gated Guinea Pond Trail over the Beebe River immediately on the west side of the road. From the gated Guinea Pond Trail the pond and the Wilderness area boundary can be reached within 2.0 miles. There are no amenities at this trailhead.
Restrictions Sandwich Notch Roads remains unplowed in the winter.
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
