Somerset Road

Also known as Forest Road 71, Somerset Road provides access to Somerset Reservoir from State Route 9 and meanders along the Deerfield River. Turning left, staying on FR 71, leads north to the Kelley Stand Road. This forest road travels through the woods and offers plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities, such as Shep Meadows, an old beaver pond where moose can sometimes be observed.
