Freeze thaw is beginning to come into full effect as temperatures rise and fall daily. The cold weather, mixed with snow, ice, rain and glimmers of sunshine puts the trails in a very volatile state. Riding, running or walking on the trails can ruin them. It leaves ruts, contributes to erosion, and creates unrideable, hard-to-fix trail surfaces requiring hours of labor to correct. If you are leaving a visible rut and/or footprints, the trail is too weak to travel on. Try to avoid volatile trails and allow the trail some time to melt and drain completely. Help us spread awareness and encourage folks to be considerate to the trails while enjoying the outdoors!

A new trail realignment project just wrapped up before the holiday season in the Cumberland Community Forest in a collaboration project between Parks staff and the United Riders of Cumberland. The project realigned the western portion of the nature trail Big Log so that it now has its own unique entrance/exit. As outlined in the Village of Cumberland interim forest management strategy, the goal of this project was to separate user traffic between the walking friendly Big Log and the more mountain bike intensive Orange Peels. The new Big Log alignment includes a beautifully built red cedar bridge over an ephemeral creek and has been designed to be appropriate for all trail users. The Gravity trail Orange Peels now no longer shares its exit with the nature trail Big log.
Happy New Year! May the coming year be full of grand adventures and opportunities.
