Saturday Morning Trail Crew is Needed

WHEN: Saturday, September 4th, 2010 from 9 AM to 12PM.

LOCATION: Please meet at the County Road 46 trail head in Hopewell. Parking is available at New Covenant Baptist Church adjacent to the trail on the south side of CR 46.

GOALS: We need to widen the trail gate at County Road 46 to accommodate the new wider trailer we will be using to carry pumpkins for the PumpkinWalk. The replacement gate will be two feet wider, and this means we will have to build up the side of the trail to allow pedestrian access around the gate. We will have the use of a tow-behind auger to drill the necessary post holes and the tractor to move gravel. If we have a good turnout we will be able to fill a few wood chuck holes and humps and bumps on that trail section as well.

You may bring your tools or use the ones provided by Ontario Pathways.
Please bring water, work gloves, safety glasses and hearing protection if you have them.

A snack will be provided (apples, bananas, and cookies).

Flint Bridge knocked out!

On June 30, 2010, the Ontario Pathways bridge over Routes 5&20 at Flint was hit by a truck and knocked off its abutments. The bridge was removed and has been placed in storage.

Fencing and signs have been placed on the trail to alert trail users of the gap that now exists in that section.

The Ontario Pathways Board is working to assess options for replacing the bridge, so that we can restore the 23-mile continuous trail access that trail users have enjoyed since early 2007. At this time we do not know how long it will take, but you can be sure that we will work diligently to get the bridge replaced, and will periodically post updates on this site.
