L O C A L T R A I L A L E R T !
It is especially important to
STAY ON MARKED TRAILS,
especially at Rocky Knoll Golf Course!
They have had trouble with turf damage in their
fairways due to frost penetration where snowmobiles run.
The marked trail is in a location that minimizes
damage to the course. Please
respect our landowners.
again... STAY
ON MARKED TRAILS!
Keep in mind that streams, ponds, and
lakes are NOT a part of the trail system.
Next time you are
out and about, take notice of all the work our small crew of
volunteers have completed from posting signs to building and
repairing bridges to clearing brush and rerouting trails.
They work so very hard to make sure that the rest of us have
a safe and pleasurable riding experience. So let's
make sure we thank them the next time we see them.
Thank you so much guys!
This is a fine bridge replacement
recently completed on trail 6 going up King's Mountain
Photos of Trail #1 reconstruction
between Oak Hill Road and Swetts Pond Road. 2 to
3-foot high berms on each side of the trail created standing
water that did not freeze during most winters. We
ditched the uphill side and built-up the middle of the
trail.
We also created a new trail next to Oak Hill Cemetery to
bypass a swamp near Howards Farm.

Here are some
photos of the bridge rehabilitation.
The bridge is 65
feet long. We hauled in about 800 feet of rough sawn
lumber graciously donated by Hanscom Well Drilling. It
is pretty much done. Center rails will be added this
weekend.

Good news...
the annoying
mud hole on Trail 107S near the Bucksport line that has will
now be a non-issue. Two beaver dams and a large rock
have been removed which caused the backup of water. A
small stream now runs through which should freeze and stay
froze through the winter.
