A trail work project was done in 2011 by young workers in the Jobs After Graduation (JAG) program. Trail experts from AMC's Camp Dodge provided leadership and tools to assist the program participants with the rock staircases, improved drainage, and treadway definition on a mile-plus segment of trail leading to the ledges atop Mt. Jasper. This hiking trail is accessed from the Berlin High School's parking lot at the end of Madison Avenue. The blue-blazed trail is on the right immediately after entering the corridor for the snowmobile trail at the north end of the athletic field.
The trail was overall in good shape. There were some muddy sections near the final approach to the ledges, but they could be negotiated with some careful foot placement.
This is a very short hike. My friend Marty and I were on the ledges within 20 minutes of leaving the trailhead. However, the views are very rewarding.
It is a very big bang for the buck!
