Over the last several weeks I have been continuing to maintain campsites and public access areas along Flagstaff Lake. As expected, July has seen a greater increase in the use of these sites, and busier areas such as Myers Lodge and Trout Brook have required labor-intensive cleanups. Big Eddy and Round Barn, two heavily trafficked sites, now fall under my responsibility for maintenance.

I’m also continuing corridor-clearing efforts on the Fly Rod Crosby Trail and am planning for our next volunteer outing in August (see above).

With the help of HPA Director, Kathy Houston, I established several reroutes on the waterfall trail at Shiloh Pond. Thank you to Rob Woodhouse, who generously utilized one of his ATVs to haul in lumber for a couple of sections of bridging for the trail as well.

Cheers!
