The Lake Mansfield Improvement Task Force invites you to review these preliminary design concepts for a new and exciting transformation of Lake Mansfield Road into a recreation-only path. The goals are to enhance recreational enjoyment, improve safety, and protect the lake waters for generations to come.
How to participate:
This Arbor Day, we are delighted to announce that the Great Barrington Land Conservancy is currently developing a Tree Walk on the new Riverfront Trail!
The Riverfront Trail Tree Walk will be an enduring way to educate the community about the many varieties of trees we have discovered on the trail, and about the importance of the tree diversity that we are preserving as a way to combat global warming. We intend to identify more than two dozen varieties and display their scientific name, family, origins, and more on metal identification signs.

River Walk is open for 2021. Come enjoy the trail! The river is running high and spring is just beginning to emerge. Although our native trees are still leafless, the buds of red maples are swelling and the upper branches of willow trees are erupting into a vibrant yellow. It’s a great time to tune into early spring changes when walking with friends and family.
