 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Blazing needs to be redone; it's on the list. Removed six blowdowns; one remains about 0.2 mi. from South Ridge Trail. Opened up five wet areas to let them drain more. A wooden footbridge needs to be replaced. New signs are in place along the whole trail. |

Shaw Trail at Pawtuckaway State Park.
Overall, the trail is in better shape than this time last year. Some of the usual wet areas are wet but not overly so. The biggest task of the day was a messy beech just about at the Shaw/Split Rock junction that took some time to clear.
This is one of the quieter trails in the park and I only saw a half dozen folks today. |
