Report Type: TM Report
Trail Name: West Rock Ridge SP
Town: Hamden
Trail Conditions: Trail relocation in progress
Observations/Information: I had help from four other people as I continue to hack through the multi-flora rose, autumn olive, and bittersweet vines near Farm Brook Reservoir. More of these invasives are part of the next phase of the work to be completed on state-approved relocation of the Red Trail from the open field into the woods. I have no specific timeline for when this trail will be blazed and open to the public, but probably not until August or maybe September. When completed, this will be a mixture of minimally technical single to double track.
