TA Report: Wadsworth Falls State Park

Date of Activity: 11/29/2009

Trail Ambassador Name: Barry Burke

Trail Ambassador Email: barry at bburke.com

Town: Middletown

Location: Wadsworth Falls SP

Trail(s) Ridden: Orange, Red, White, Yellow, Short section of Blue,
Unblazed, Rockfall Land Trust

How did you use the trail?: Mountain bike riding

What was the time of day?: Afternoon, ~ 2-4 PM

Duration (Hours): 2

Distance (Miles): ~ 9

Condition of Trail(s): Heavy leaf cover making side trails difficult to see, small but deep areas of mud. Overall, most were in good shape for very late fall.

Observations: This was a beautiful day, rare for the season, so the main trail was rather crowded. I rode a loop that avoided the main trail as much as possible. Side trails were pretty much empty, making for a quiet Sunday ride. Many, many, dogs were present, only a few were leashed. There were so many dogs, I'm surprised there weren't more conflicts. I picked up litter along the Orange trail and to return this week and pick up some blow downs and sticks. It was nice to see lots of folks out hiking with kids.
