Just thought we would let everyone know where we sit on the Pittsburg trails.
As most of you know, the new Deadwater Trail is fully opened, signed and blazed.
The Prospect Mountain Trail is open over the summit to Lakeview Estates. We are still waiting on about a 600 foot section of trail to be approved by one landowner.
The Covill Mtn. Trail is still waiting on the land manager to approve the trail (hopefully this week).
The Round Pond Brook trail is waiting on the Covill Mtn. Trail.
The Camp Otter Trail will be open and ready for the 2010 season.
The new Falls in the River Trail is fully flagged and Gpsed. The first section to Big Brook is cut and ready for signs and blazing.
Big Brook to 2nd Lake Dam needs to be cut, signed, blazed, bog bridging in a couple of short sections and a 25' bridge needs to be put in. This should be open for the 2010 season.
2nd Lake Dam to Idlewilde Road will be open for the 2010 season.
MtnGoat and I are currently flagging and Gpsing the section on the east side of Rt3 from Idlewilde Road to Deer Mountain Campground. If everything goes right, this will be open this coming summer!!
All this will take out all of the RT 3 road walk, but will probably add a few more miles to the trail. Miles that will be well worth the walk!
