Cow Mountain Pond Snowmobile Trail Re-route
Re-route a section of an existing Vermont Association of Snow Traveler managed snowmobile trail located on the VELCO easement corridor running through the Forest Legacy Program tract in Granby, VT. Approximately 1,500 feet of the existing trail will be relocated to an existing old logging road west of the easement. The project includes the construction of approximately 1,500 ft of new trail by cutting small trees, debrushing, stumping, and placement of water bars. The intent is to improve safety, improve the recreation experience, and reduce impacts on soils. Implementation of the project will be through the issuance of a special use permit to the local VAST snowmobile club to construct, use and maintain the trail.
