Dickerson Mine Preserve Conditions

Are there any side trails that drop down to the main trail network from Canfield Ave that would be recommended?

There is a trailhead across the street from the Canfield school that connects to the white trail when it's on the fire road from the Frank St lot. more of a connector than anything else, and it was still pretty rough and muddy when I rode it last year.

Easiest way in is the mulch pit entrance.

Easiest way in is the mulch pit entrance.

I'm guessing that's 'Irish Spring Rd'?

nice job on bridge up on yellow by warehouse!!!View attachment 157654

Oh gosh, I have to work on skinnies and this nice thing turns up! Thank you!

Also, now that I'm vaccinated, I'd be interesting in pitching in on the trail work. I'm a theatrical carpenter, btw. How should I be talking with to plug in?
Thanks!

Yes, right across the street from the school. It's a little hard to spot, just ride slow along the road. There's also the main dirt road entrance to the mulch pit off of Canfield.

You’d be surprised what I’ve seen theatre carpenters throw together on the fly....

By the way, you (and everyone else) should give the Dickerson Mine FB and Insta pages a follow! We will also use social media pages to announce TM and maybe even an occasional group ride.

Anyone know who to call to make a report when we see dirt bikers on the trails? I looked on the sign that says no dirt bikes, atvs, etc but no number. Saw two dirt bikers today at different times 5:30-630. One cut the bike off and actually walked it out when we saw each other. The other flew up behind me and passed me on 2 separate occasions.

Trails are great right now. White could use a little trimming in the jungle by the car. That new boardwalk on Yellow is bad ass...awesome job!

Thanks. That area will be trimmed back soon.

loving all the new trails there, really great work everyone....this park has really come a long way in the past 10 years.

Overall good conditions, especially considering the weekend rain. Only consistent soft trails was on newly cut section on Marty’s. Everything else tacky to dry.
Thanks Jason & crew !!!
There is a tree down on the yellow extension, not sure of dimension but not passable.

I'm still around working on projects but it's Jeremy and crew now!

Haven't been in a while - but always a good time. Large tree on yellow extension near Canfiled Ave (King Mine Trail according to TF).

What's Jeremy's handle on here (if he has one) so we can tag him if needed?

 

[TommyF]

Big thank you to those responsible for trimming, Trails are in great shape !!!!

I assume it’s the user in post 513 above. @3MTA3 maybe?
