TRAIL-USER REPORTS
The trails in our area are a bit treacherous in places now that we have 4” of snow over the ice. The snow prevents yak tracks from gripping, micro spikes might be better. Be careful out there!
There is a large tree down blocking the trail aprox 20 feet south of marker 20. The tree fell sometime between 1130am and 2:30pm on 1 Jan, 2022 as I walked a loop out and back. I’ll be out tomorrow and try to clean up some of the smaller pieces […]
Two major trees down- one on the Harvard forest portion of the trail and the second on the Pingree Reservation trail portion. Both passable but you will have to trek a little bit off trail to get around.
Lots of debris on trail after storm, nothing impassable. Very wet up at the cross trail intersection, that’s no surprise! Wear your boots.
Multiple trees down on Riverbend trail leading from the river up to hay field. Impassable.
Trail 13/18 back under water and it looks like the beavers have returned. It is more than 6 inches deep in spots and water spills across the trail for about 20-25 feet.
There are two old blowdowns that are hung up above horse level across the trail. The trail is on Greenbelt property parallel to Asbury St. just after the Shaw field and the house heading towards the Bradley Palmer parking lot.
Great place for bird watching, or to simply take a walk along rolling meadows with beautiful views.
The grass is getting TALL and full of nesting birds. Beautiful place to bird watch! They have mowed the perimeter with a nice wide walking path. Enjoy!
