The Roach’s Pond end of the McIntosh Run Community Trail will be closed while a new subdivision is being built. The trail will be closed from the Roach’s Pond parking lot to just before the pedestrian bridge that connects to Alabaster Way. This portion of the trail is expected to reopen in late 2019. You can still access the rest of the Community Trail from Drysdale Road.

MRWA is hiring a trail crew to work on our single track trail network. We are working to connect the Norrawarren trails to the “Fight trails” off of the Governor’s Brook subdivision. As the trail gets longer so does the walk into the worksite. This means we get less build time per weekly volunteer build session. We’re hiring a trail crew to supplement our volunteer effort and keep the project (and trails) progressing this summer and fall. We are hiring trail building crew members and supervisors. The job descriptions and details of how to apply can be found here:

The 2018 trail building season has started. Volunteers were out today building trail in the McIntosh Run Singletrack Trail System. The trail plan for 2018 is ambitious and we’re excited to have started. If you’re interested in lending a hand (and back) we’d love to have you. You can join our volunteer mailing list here, follow us on Facebook, or check our calendar to find out about the next scheduled build. If you have a group who would like to come out for a special group build please contact us and we’ll try and make it happen.
We are hoping to schedule regular weekly build days soon and will post them when known.
Happy Trails!
MRWA will not hold a general meeting in April. The next general meeting will be May 15th. Hope to see you then!
