Yesterday, I joined a group of volunteers who've been building and maintaining trails in the Hennig Preserve, a Saratoga PLAN property in the Town of Providence, near Lake Nancy and just south of the Adirondack Blue Line.
We were working yesterday on a new trail in the adjacent Homestead County Forest, shown in purple above. Trails here will connect to those in the Hennig Preserve, creating a nearly 10-mile trail network.
The new trail had previously been flagged and mostly roughed out, so yesterday we were cleaning up some rough edges and breaking through a few sections that were still not cleared at all. It should now be almost ready to be formally marked and opened for general use. This will be a very nice trail when completed, following Cadman Creek (Lake Nancy's outlet), with views of beaver dams, remains of former sawmills, and this very nice waterfall where we stopped for lunch.
I hope to spend more time with this kind of local trail work, especially after next year when we give up our adopted section of the Northville-Lake Placid Trail much farther north, after 20 years of maintaining it.
Beautiful hiking trails for all levels, enjoy the new benches put in place 11/12/12 to rest on.
