The Project: Complete corridor clearing & Begin tread construction
Bring gloves, sturdy shoes, a drink & a snack.
Description: The Town of Emmitsburg has started construction on a stacked loop trail network. This will become the newest singletrack in Frederick County. 75% of the Beginner Trail’s corridor has been cleared and the goal is to finish this work and begin shaping the tread on Saturday, August 27, 2011.
In time, this trail system should boast in excess of 20 miles of diverse single track, on terrain comparable to the Frederick Watershed AND Schaeffers Farm. The Town of Emmitsburg has also approved the design Intermediate and Advanced Trails. Upon the completion of the Beginner Trail they will be built.
Join us Saturday for a great morning of trail building followed by a BBQ in Community Park.
