While boating on Lake Umbagog, head to the Cedar Stump campground at the base of the Rapid River. Tie-up just upstream of the campground on the same side of the river. Walk inland several yards and turn right onto the path that leads upstream. After about five minutes walking on the path you'll see a white sign on a tree that says "Trouble by the bucketful!". Look to your left just off the trail- there are three trees standing shoulder to shoulder: spruce, hemlock and cedar. Look at the base of the hemlock around the back side...under a rock is the Cedar Stump!

Twenty minutes further up the trail you'll find a nice picnic spot and swimming hole known as Smooth Ledge. (Follow the directions for "The Rapid River") This is a very popular area for kayakers and fishermen- we think it's a very special place, and maybe you will, too...

(Although actually placed in the state of Maine, we're following the convention of listing this box in NH since the access and the other Lake Umbagog boxes are in NH.)
