Temporary Wapack Trail Relocation 5/9/12 Emerson Hill-Binney Hill Rd

[Quietman]

I saw this posted on the message board at EMS in Peterborough. A section of the Wapack just to the north of Watatic & Nutting Hill is closed due to logging. A 1.75 mile detour is shown HERE. The Wapack.org site doesn't say how long the detour will be in place.

Apparently they let the Friends of the Wapack know at the last moment. The land owner did open that section of the trail for yesterday's trail race. We hiked the trail yesterday - after coordinating our schedule with FoW - and they are clear cutting an area, there is some big timber harvesting machinery out there. I gather they are likely to do what they need to do and won't commit to a precise stop date for the logging.
