    Default Parking or good shuttle/parking for South Arm Rd - Andover, ME

    We're heading out for section hike starting over in the Andover, ME area. What are the best options right now for safe parking and maybe a shuttle out to the trail head? From what I remember, there's not great parking over at the South Arm Rd.

    There is parking along the road for several vehicles but it is quite remote area. I am not aware of any break ins. Pine Ellis in Andover http://www.pineellis.com/Hiker_s_Page.php actively shuttles to this area. Alternatively you could contact the cabin http://thecabininmaine.com/ (I am not sure if they shuttle).

    FYI, there is new campsite under construction about 200 yards into the woods from south arm road complete with a brand new handicapped accessible privy. There is a campsite with a picnic table but no privy in Sawyer Notch right next to the brook just before the steep climb up Moody Mtn. I do boundary maintenance in this section and I frequently have run into bears in this area, they appear to be wild and generally all I see are their rear ends as they head off but would hang food.
