THIS SUMMER ON WALPOLE TRAILS

Summer is a great time to explore, enjoy, and appreciate Walpole’s trails. Trail users will find many improvements this summer, due to the efforts of the Walpole Trail Committee and many additional volunteers at Help Our Trails Day and other events.

Brush hogging has just been completed on the Walpole section of the Cheshire Rail Trail!  Trail users on foot, bicycle or horseback can now more readily enjoy the scenery along 7+ miles of rail trail on the west side of town. Rail trail users this summer should find far fewer wet spots than in past years, thanks to last fall’s major drainage improvement project.  The rail trail is accessible from several cross streets, and there is dedicated parking on River Rd.

At Mill Pond, bridges have been repaired, new signs put up, trees cleared away, and erosion controls installed. In mid-June, encroaching vegetation was cut back.  The bridge on the Fanny Mason trail was replaced last fall.

Trail maps and photos of trail work events can be found on the Walpole Conservation Commission website, walpoleoutdoors.org. 

Many thanks to everyone in the Walpole government and community for supporting Walpole trails.

Enjoy Walpole’s trails!
