Observations & Encounters: In a follow up to my TA Report for Upper Paugussett State Forest from last week when I encountered that ATV and subsequently notified the DEP about the opening to Upper Paugussett State Forest across from Silver City that is an open invitation to any kid in the neighborhood with a motorized off road vehicle, all the DEP did was put up another sign.
There is another tree down on the Lake George ROW but it's not quite blocking the trail because of it's length and the trees above supporting it but it because it's leaning down pushing another tree into the ROW. As for the ROW, there are quite a few big mud puddles that you would need to ride around.
On the climb up from the bench there are few trees down that make climbing the trail problematic.
Now that it's literally open season for season for Dear using rifles and shot guns, stay away from the neighboring horse trails on the Newtown side! There is a tree stand about 100 yards from where the big tree came down on the red trail and this morning there was a hunter in it!
