Improvement Work at Lake Mansfield is in full swing!

Here is an important message from town planner, Chris Rembold: 

This spring has been a windy rainy one  resulting in blowdowns in many trail areas and the southern section of the Riverfront Trail on Brookside Road had a big vine covered white pine fall, blocking the trail and breaking 2 rails of the split-rail fence. Project Leader, Joe Maleady was quick to respond to a helpful email from a trail user alerting him to the problem! 

THANK YOU SKILLED VOLUNTEERS!
