All local trails are now open! With a warm spring and little blowdown, local trails are generally well-dried and free of debris. Please note this special Long Trail bypass around the Big Branch bridge:

Appalachian Trail / Long Trail Temporary Relocation: Big Branch By-Pass.
The Big Branch Bridge is being replaced this summer by contractors working for the Green Mountain National Forest. Work on the bridge is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act secured by the National Park Service - Appalachian Trail Park Office. Full replacement was deemed necessary by a US Forest Service wilderness area minimum requirements decision. Big Branch Brook is a big, swift-running river with high water volume at all times. Hikers are urged and cautioned to by-pass the site using a detour consisting of Forest Road’s 10 and 30 and the Old Job Trail. This adds three easy miles to your hike but avoids an ill-advised ford attempt.

 

 

Little Rock Pond will be the site of some archeological digs sponsored by the Green Mountain National Forest in 2009 as we prepare to build a new Long Trail Shelter at the pond in 2010 to celebrate GMC's 100th anniversary. For information, please contact Dave Hardy at GMC, dhardy(at)greenmountainclub(dot)org.
