We’ve cleaned up most of the trails, done some leaf blowing, but still have a few blowdowns to clear. The mountain is surprisingly dry, but […]

Trail Updates

Last Update: 3.11.19
See our Trails Page for info on trails and map
-Attention! See blog post about temporarily vehicular action restriction for trail access from Southern Vermont College campus-
-WARNING! Low wires (maybe live) on Lower Beacon up to the actual beacon and the Snail Trail/Beacon area  (not labeled on map, but it has a wooden sign). GMP and the utility company have been notified. Please avoid touching any wires and act as if they are live. We don’t anticipate GMP addressing these in the near future. Caution tape is up. Small wires down on Cave Trail you can ride/hop over. The communications company has been addressing these issues.
-Hops and Vines field Reroute is open. Both ends of the field have been blocked off. DO NOT ride through the field please. Reroute will need some work come spring and is not blazed yet,
-Cave Trail Relo to the North of the Cave is completed and blazed yellow. Will need a little fine tuning & fine root clipping.
-BLOWDOWNS- Report any if you see them with approximate trail location, photo and something in the photo for scale to BATSVT@Gmail.com
-2019 TRAIL WORK: Lots of projects and a relocation slated for Spring! If you have ideas for things that need improvements, you are welcome to attend Board Meeting or a Social and talk to us about it!

Thanks for all your help!
If you volunteered report the hours. Widget at bottom of page.
