Hop River State Rail Trail

Date: July 27, 2011
Report Type: TA Report:
Trail Name: Hop River State Rail Trail
Town: Vernon-Bolton
Trail Conditions: Very Good
Observations/Information: I tried my best to get in a ride late afternoon Tuesday, however mother nature dealt her wrath on the Hop River Rail Trail. Unfortunately, I was caught 3.2 miles from home when "tornado like" weather hit Vernon around 5:00 pm. Heavy downpouring rains & winds led to trail flash flooding and downed branches. Thankfully, I made it home safely.
I figured I'd make-up the shortened ride this evening to check out the trail. I cleared some branches along the route. The trail dried out very well. There were many trail users getting in their workout.
