A wooded stretch of the Appalachian Trail crosses Washington along the Washington Mountain ridge, sharing ground with October Mountain State Forest to the west. There's no facility or trailhead lot dedicated to this exact segment; it's a pass-through for thru-hikers and day hikers connecting to shelters and trail sections in neighboring towns.
