Yes, North Main at Carmel Ave is what I meant, sorry I wasn't clear about that. Its only a couple hundred yds or so on Carmel Ave (Rt 6) to N Main that would be the primary concern. Frankly to avoid crossing Rt 6 twice I'd probably just stay on the sidewalk to make life easier (and safer).

On another note, when you go up N Main there is direct access to that section of the Maybrook from an entry path that's already in place, next to Kobacker's Market, just before you get to Crosby. Easy as can be.
