Report Type: TA Report:
Trail Name: Hop River State Rail Trail
Town: Vernon-Columbia
Trail Conditions: Excellent
Observations/Information: The areas in the town of Vernon have been cleared of debris, leaves, and over-growth.  The trail really looks good.  I had to move one 20 ft. long downed tree off the path in Bolton.  Some muddy/slick patches near RT 316. The trail is mostly singletrack, not much maintenance in these areas.  On my return trip, I was passed by (2) dirt-bikes about 12:45.  They did not have marker plates (one red bike and another yellow).  I figured they entered at Wales Rd. and headed up to Steele's Crossing.  I followed their tire markings.  I know they shouldn't be riding these trails, however I didn't notice any abuse.  I ride many miles and log many hours on the Hop River, this was a first!  It looks like an afternoon thunderstorm, thankfully I'm home.
