Maintenance - 2005
Lynn Woods Trail Maintenance Day # 1
Project # LYW050105
Date: 05.01.2005
Regardless of rain, we (Lynn Woods Maintenance Volunteers) were able to
complete our first trail maintenance project.
This project was completed around the swamp area near the Wolf Pits. Many
who ride in Lynn Woods know that there is a loop trail where Spacemonkey
jump and the Spine is located that wraps up around the Weetamoo Cliffs (Look
at Lynn Woods Map for Location). This trail leads back to the Wolf Pits and
the main fire road (OX Pasture Road). However, before reaching the main fire
road, it requires bikers to cross through a swamp.
This path around Weetamoo Cliffs leading towards the Wolf Pits is not and
official trail; however, Lynn Woods Park Management has agreed to keep this
PATH (not Trail) open to bikers providing we do not ride through the Swamp
Area. This swamp plays an important role in filtering fresh water before
running underground toward Meeting House Swamp and Walden Pond.
Today this path was re-routed towards the legal trail coming from checkpoint
5 (no official Trail name at this time) toward checkpoint 2. This section
had been clearly cut and marked with a large fallen tree that has been moved
to block the swamp area accompanied with temporary signs posted to direct
bikers toward the legal trail. The path entrance on the opposite end of the
Swamp near the main fire road has been covered with leafs and dead branches.
We ask all riders to respect this swamp area and not ride through it! By
preserving this area we (the biking community) are given the right to keep
riding the PATH around Weetamoo Cliffs.
I want to extend my personal thanks to each individual (listed below) that
helped complete this project. I look forward to see everyone again in future
trail builds and/or maintenance projects.
