    Another big land conservation deal in the Mahoosucs

    SPNHF acquired the two lots surrounding the AT (Shelburne Valley Forest) with multiple grant funding sources. One of those grants was from a federal Community Forest program and as a result, an advisory group of Shelburne citizens will have input on management of that forest land. After Bayroot...

    Leaving a mess in Shelburne NH - SCI Mountain Challenge

    The Shelburne Trails Club received no prior notification about this event, nor any request to use the club maintained trails that are made available to the public only through the generous permission of the private landowners through which these trails pass. I also don't expect to see any...

    AMC Gentian Pond Shelter Closed

    Logging on Austin Brook Trail Hikers should be aware that logging is now ocurring along the upper sections of the Austin Brook Trail after it leaves the Austin Brook Road (logging road) and also along the Dryad Falls Trail. Beware of trucks on the logging road sections also. FormerStarMan

    Success Pond Rd. 2011

    I would also point out that protection of the AT along with the Success, Carlo Col, and Goose Eye Trails was the sole purpose of the acquisition of the 4,700 acres of Success. Stranger things have happened, but it would be surprising if access to the trailheads followed. FormerStarMan

    Success Pond Rd. 2011

    I don't think it is likely that the Success Pond Road would be closed to traffic accessing the trailheads there. The AMC & ATC have much invested in those trails. There is only one other access to the Northern Mahoosuc trail sections and that is on the Wright Trail from Ketchum over in Maine...

    Success Pond Rd. 2011

    I should also have noted in my earlier posting that the US Forest Service acquired 4,700+ acres of the Sucess tract on the north side of the AT corridor last Fall, thanks to The Conservation Fund (TCF), Appalachian Trail Conference, and AMC. The tract is on the south side of Success Pond Road...

    Success Pond Rd. 2011

    The Success Pond Road has always been blocked by the owner during mud season and is generally opened at the end of May. The Conservation Fund has the option on the purchase of Dillon's Success land. Whether that option is exercised is dependent upon the county or local towns getting their act...

    Mount Ingalls Route(s)

    If parking at the inn, you should use the lot at the left front of the inn and not in the drive to the entrance of the inn. You should also stop in at the inn and ask permission if parking in their lot. The family just placed a conservation easement on most of the 800-acres they own around the...

    Curren Mt. Ingalls Update The Scudder Trail has been reopened and blazed since last summer. You can access the Scudder Trail off of the Austin/MillBrook log road where there is a trailhead sign, or can also access the orange blazed Scudder trail from the Yellow Trail after starting at the...
