      On July 21, 2018 the trail crew began building a new bog bridge out of hemlock logs over the small stream in the Darter Trail. This was one of the community volunteer projects for July where volunteers work alongside Mt. Agamenticus staff to protect the environment of the park and improve the riding and hiking experience.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
