SRK Greenway Hikers Take Care…Notice
| Beaver engineers have been productive in diverting water onto the SRK Greenway at Devil’s Half Acre Pond at the head of Great Brook in a corner of Wilmot and Gile State Forest near the New London town line. The location is about 2.3 miles north of Pleasant Lake on the SRK Greenway/Great Brook Trail and about 1.2 mile southeast of the SRKG junction with Morgan Pond Road. The pond is in Gile SF at the point where the trail leaves New London town land. Hikers approaching the pond on the SRK Greenway will find water diverting down a short section of bouldery trail for about 100 ft before rejoining the main stream at the headwaters of Great Brook. The danger is that snowshoes may “post hole” through the snow/ice into the small new stream. We intend in Spring or Summer 2010 to reroute this short section in the woods adjacent to Great Brook. Meanwhile, find your way around carefully. |
