National
Trails Day is June 7-8, 2014
Celebrating
90 Years on the N-P Trail
The
Adirondack Mountain Club is partnering with the Northville Merchants
Association, the Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce, and
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to
celebrate the 90th
anniversary of the Northville-Placid Trail. There
are many events scheduled, including a wide variety of volunteer
trails projects, most notably helping to reroute a section of the
N-P Trail off of the road and into the Shaker Mountain Wild Forest.
Along with the volunteer trail projects, a guided hike will be
available through the rerouted portion of the N-P Trail completed
last summer by ADK’s Professional Trail Crew.
On
Saturday, the Village of Northville will be hosting a number of
different activities and dedication in conjunction with the volunteer
trail projects, including family-friendly activities, craft vendors,
and exhibits. At 3:30 p.m. that day in Northville’s Waterfront
Park, the village will have a ribbon cutting commemorating a rustic
new archway at the Park entrance. The DEC will be unveiling a new
kiosk that will mark the official beginning – or end point – of
the N-P trail.
