Comments:
Welcome back to Upton State Forest, which was remapped in 2015 (1:10,000 with 5 m contours). The following courses will be available: White, 2.7 km; Yellow, 2.8 km; Orange, 3.7 km; Tan; Brown; Green, 4.0 km; Red, 5.9 km. With all the rain this spring, water features are reasonably full, but stream crossings on logical route choices are doable without needing to wade. Start is a 200 m walk from the registration area.

Typical with a number of NEOC venues, parking is limited. “Park Road” shown on the map is a very rough gravel road that dead ends at a parking area for approximately 20 cars. Registration will be in this area. A paved road SE of Park Road goes uphill to a slightly larger parking area with a port-a-potty. The two parking areas are connected by a 200 m path.
