@4:25 That's NOT a bypass. Once you are off the road you are trespassing on power line property and the power companies DO prosecute. ALL POWERLINES ARE PRIVATE PROPERTY. Some states allow travel on power line access trails, NH DOES NOT. Last I checked its usually a $1000 fine.
Good to know. I've pinned this so others can learn from my mistake. Definitely seemed like just an alternative route but totally see what you mean after re-watching and seeing the overall layout.
@@NorthWoodsOverland dude, in n.h people are ALWAYS blocking these class 4 roads. they either own land abutting or in this case it is the electric co. or folks just plain jealous of people who can afford to recreate using 4wd vehicles. in many cases, these companies APPRECIATE people keeping the roads open. before i listen to someone griping i would contact them myself and if it is not open i would get a good reason why not. after all, it is classed as a road and if someone is keeping people off they want squatters rights to close off the road and declassify it. most of the time the property is in a program that gives the owner a huge tax break and they should NOT have the authority to stop people from using it without good reason. we really need to stop companies and private owners from doing some of these closures. a lifelong n.h. resident.
This is not true at all. Some of the powerline roads are owned by the power company and private property, others are owned by private citizens and the power company has an easement to allow access, and some are on public land. You're only potentially tresspassing in the first two cases, and only if there are no tresspassing signs posted. I know this is a bit old, but want to correct this for future visitors here or elsewhere in the state. I don't know which category this particular road is in, but if it's not posted, you will not get in trouble, though if you're told to leave and you come back, you will.
I just did this road both ways today on my bike. Conditions were about as dry as you could hope for, no standing water anywhere. For anyone considering going up this hill (south to north) in a 4WD, you will want locking diffs: lots of loose and slippery rocks.
I viewed a couple of your videos and I thought to myself that the picture quality was poor. Than, I realized that I am a moron, went to my settings and made adjustments to the picture quality. Good stuff brother. The switch pro installation videos you completed brought me here. Cheers and thank you. My 2019 TRD Pro thanks you as well.
You're not a complete moron, I did switch up to 4k gopros for this video, so the quality definitely is better. But you do have to turn it on ;) Glad my videos were helpful! What's the first accessory you're adding to your switchpros?
@@NorthWoodsOverland I installed a slim line bumper from Southern Style Off Road. I purchased a 30" Baja design light bar and knew that I was going to add several other lights. I wanted an easier light/connection option and stumbled across your videos. Thanks again, brother.
I wouldnt try this with a jeep wrangler stock or a any car. Some water 18-20 inches deep. If you haven’t been you have to see it in perso; not what onX rates it. Everything looks easy on RUclips
Really enjoying your channel! I just bought my second jeep and am looking to get back out there and do some exploring. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the trails that NH and NE in general has to offer. Keep it up bro
anyone watching this thinking this is an easy trail, a heads up that because of all the rain we got last year most of the soil around the rocks was washed away so now the rock protrude from the ground a lot more
@@NorthWoodsOverland Thanks! And just to confirm, this is totally legal to take your truck down as a class VI? I live about 45 minutes away and really went to check it out.
@@eric_fay Yep! A class VI road is just an former town road that fell into an unmaintained state. Reports from others who have done it since have said theres logging along it, so i'm not sure if you can go through completely nowadays. But it is totally legal to travel down class VI roads.
@Bry Dor From when I was there it sounds like you probably would be fine. Pinstriping is always a possibility, but i hear its been logged out a bit in the area, so things might have changed.
Also the list you published of C6 roads was compiled from ENH over a decade ago. It is wicked outdated and will get people potentially arrested for trespassing and for several of the roads will get hostile confrontations from abutting landowners. The accurate way to identify status of roads is to talk to the town road agent using the town road map or tax map.
Did you access the road from Osgood from the north or from the south at Hutchinson hill road I tried to access it from Hutchinson hill road bc where you were doesn’t look like where I was
@@NorthWoodsOverland thanks for your reply I figured that’s how you got in because the way that I went in from the south was all screwy I made a video on my channel of it but you were lucky you got there right before I got all messed up! Keep up the videos dude love your stuff
@@keithwynott3324 I've gotten yelled at by a property owner for turning into the power line trail across from his driveway, even though it's open. The trails across from rt 13 in milford are pretty decent.
@@keithwynott3324 last time I went up Hutchinson Hill, at the top where it crosses over the power line trail, there was a sleu of construction equipment and vehicles blocking that section off.
@@vajiraweerasekara8462 Probably, you might hit some of the under body skid plates in a section or two, but with the right line and dry conditions, you should be fine.
@@NorthWoodsOverland are the turns tight? I don't mind putting my rig into some brush. Or is it more of a risk for boulders and high centering. My AT tires gives me almost an extra 2 inches of clearance.
I came in from the north off of Osgood Road. But as I hear, there's a bunch of logging going on that might make this area look a lot different and potentially impassable.
you're going to fast over some of the rocks / obstacles .. shift into low range sometimes, crawl a little slower as not to risk damage and make the video smoother and we could see a little better. win-win what's the big hurry ?
You're not wrong, especially in situations that are more challenging or a higher risk of damage. I didn't feel either on this road and drove at a speed I felt comfortable. May be too fast for some, may be too slow for others. The meh video is actually a result of my post processing and using too low of a bit rate. But this was an early video before I got new cameras and learned more about my editing software I use. I really appreciate the feedback though.
@@NorthWoodsOverland I watch a few more NH channels as well, and especially for deeper puddles they really slow up in case of rocks. Dont risk your truck.. and it adds to the scenery when it's not zipping by as fast. :- )

Did this one last night. ‘24 Stock Tacoma TRDoffroad. Couple challenging spots but got through without a scrape or scratch…. very capable truck!

Thanks for such kind words. I hope to make more in the new england area when I return from out west.
This is right around the corner from me and I've been dying to see if my stock ORP could do this. I'm guessing not even in dry conditions.
I owned a Jeep Wrangler when I lived in Nashua a few years back and I never knew about this place! :(
anyone watching this thinking this is an easy trail, a heads up that because of all the rain we got last year most of the soil around the rocks was washed away so now the rock protrude from the ground a lot more
is it necessary to air down your tires? thanks.
You think a 09 short body f-150 with a lot of power could do this?
I wanna get up out there soon I’m only in RI I did the jug trail system not long ago in Maine
Youll have the shooting sometimes. Most folks are aware enough not to shoot across the trails. just honk the horn a few times
This looks like an awesome trail to do. Wonder how my stock Ford raptor would do with 35’s.
I think on 35"s you should be fine. I was on 33"s at the time. You just might run into a little problem with width and potential pinstriping.

Good point! I removed the list so it should be a dead link now.
Did you access the road from Osgood from the north or from the south at Hutchinson hill road I tried to access it from Hutchinson hill road bc where you were doesn’t look like where I was
From the north side. I heard they're doing a bunch of logging in there now, so it's all different.

Lol
Would a stock tacoma trd off road be able to ride this road?
New one was fine through it. Couple slow places you will need to be spotted but it’s overall not bad
This is my playground so many trails
Looks like a good portion of it is currently blocked off due to logging/construction
@@OSDCrusher there's a ton of other ways to go from the top of the power lines I ride out there every weekend
@@keithwynott3324 I've gotten yelled at by a property owner for turning into the power line trail across from his driveway, even though it's open. The trails across from rt 13 in milford are pretty decent.
@@OSDCrusher you probably got yelled at by my buddy's father he owns a good portion of the right side of the property coming down Hutchinson Hill
@@keithwynott3324 last time I went up Hutchinson Hill, at the top where it crosses over the power line trail, there was a sleu of construction equipment and vehicles blocking that section off.
do you think a stock f150 with 32 inch aggressive AT tires could handle this?
Oooh thats probably pushing it. I probably wouldn't do it if it was my truck. Especially with the longer wheelbase.
Could a stock 4runner do this south to North?
@@vajiraweerasekara8462 Probably, you might hit some of the under body skid plates in a section or two, but with the right line and dry conditions, you should be fine.

@@zachrandolph7845 any coordinates?
