I cycled from Andover to Greendell a few weeks ago.  The surfaced is
generally good, but there are a number of humpy-bumpy areas where ATV's
have made their marks.  Without ATV traffic, it would likely be
impassible.

Saw nobody else.  The bridge at Greendell was removed years ago and the
r-o-w is fenced on both sides, but easily circumvented.

Definitely NOT!!!  You can barely see US 206 at Andover!

Me too.  There are few easy access points.  Andover, Greendell, Johnson,
Blairstown...  Parking nearby is a problem at all.
