** New Date. RANGE POND STATE PARK - Trail Hike/Snowshoe
Details
Let's enjoy the sunshine (hopefully) hike/snoeshoe the trails at the State park.
When you enter through the park gates, there is a year round fee and a box to collect it. I believe it's free for seniors.
Pass through the gate and follow the road to the left park near the beach, we will meet there.
Perhaps start with Old Camp Trail then Railbed Trail.
Hope you can join this last minute Adventure.
I don't expect ice, but you may want to bring grippers, just in case.
Hiking
Old Camp Trail
(2 miles, easy): This pond-side trail is our most popular hiking and snowshoeing trail. With only one small hill, this scenic walk passes by the location of the park’s original cabin and follows Range Pond’s shore to the north end of the park. At the top of the hill, the trail intersects the Railbed Trail and makes a southward loop back to the park’s flagpole.
Old Fields Trail
(1.5 miles, easy to moderate): A hiking and snowshoeing trail with no hills that loops through the mixed-growth forest at Range Pond. This trail does not
Railbed Trail
(1 mile, easy): This is the park's main trail, comprised of a packed gravel base. To the northwest, this old carriage road follows beside the old railroad bed to the historic Poland Railroad Station (at the corner of Poland Corner and Plains Roads) with just one mild elevation change.
