Hello again trail enthusiasts,
First off let me thank everyone who came out for the last trail work day. We were able to reclaim almost five miles of trail from the 09 Ice Storm. That leaves about 2/3rds of the trails left to open We have some reroutes and more trees to get out of the way in the next few trail days. Here's the dirt on the next trail work day.
When: Saturday, March 26th at 8:30 am SHARP! The park gate cannot be left open. We will be working as long as possible so bring a lunch if you want to stay all day.
What to Bring: Work gloves, sturdy shoes, water (bottled or in a camelback), lunch, loppers/trimmers , chainsaws with PPE and lots of energy.
Do not to Bring: Your Bike, the trails need much more TLC before they can be ridden.
