Jim Lyall, Patrick Kell (Executive Director, VMBA) and Erik Schutz walked with 4 representatives of the VT State Forest Parks and Recreation last week. We walked a section of woods that potentially could be beginner and intermediate trail system across the street from the campground entrance of Ascutney State Park. We also walked a proposed trail route that would connect the Ascutney State Park with STAB's Mountainside Trail system. This trail would also connect/pass through the hiking trails of the Windsor Trail and Brownsville Trail on its way from the campground.

At this point the State Park Reps will meet at the end of the summer to discuss their findings and decide on moving forward with this project. We are optimistic that this trail project will be approved based on our discussions and hike with the folks from the State. If you have any questions about this trail project please post them on the forum.

Thanks and Stay Tuned
