Paugussett Boardwalk

[Bill Dyer]

The attached photos were taken at 8:00 this morning. The swamp/pond is about 9 inches above the level of last weekend when the boardwalk was built. 

Thanks to Teresa for removing the brush under the power lines to create two parking places, make a trail from there to the Paugussett Trail and blazing the trail.

There’s enough level land there at the Buddington powerlines for a significant parking lot if the need arises. More than two cars can park there now if people park the right way, one car if people just pull in parallel to the road.  Is that bridge secured with rebar?  If the water got any higher it could have been washed out. And the water does get higher sometimes in the spring. I walked on it yesterday and it was fine, but there were no more tadpoles. I hope they were not washed out to sea.

 

Here’s an aerial of the new route.  The magenta line is a reroute in progress.
