Take-out: We left a bike at the bridge that probably won't work if you are leaving cars as it is all private property. The bridge was located in Wentworth, on the Ellsworth Rd which is one road south of the 25A and 116 junction. But I bet you could park in town and just walk the 100 yards up the road.

Put-in: Return to NH-25A and drive 0.2 miles before turning left on NH-25A / NH-118. Drive for 1.7 miles. There is a turn-out at a small dirt road that also has a old rotted out bridge. We put-in here.
