Trail Report
As we head into late fall, it’s important to acknowledge the lack of sunlight this time of year and bring a headlamp or flashlight with you if you’re heading out on the trail mid-late afternoon, and wear layers to stay properly equipped as the temperatures change throughout the day. The foliage has covered the forest floor on some of our less-travelled routes, be sure to pay attention to signage, stay on the trail, and remember to wear bright colors (ORANGE) as hunting season continues through December. Blaze orange ACT beanies are available for purchase at the office!
Trail Reporting
ACT’s trails rely on a team of dedicated, hard-working volunteers and maintainers to continue providing recreational opportunities and access to the outdoors in the North Country year-round. The link below allows the general public, as well as our volunteers to keep the ACT team up-to-date on current trail conditions. If you are out and about on one of our trails and notice something that doesn’t look quite right, (tree down, washout, mud hole, overgrown vegetation, etc.) please go ahead and let us know on the “HAZARDS” page. Conor, our Trails Manager, will address the hazard and organize an opportunity to fix these problems with volunteers who wish to join.
Thank you for your continued support and excitement for outdoor recreation. See you on the trails!
