Today the Crossover Trail project that was started in 2013 is officially open and complete. What started as a vision by James, our Ringwood crew leader in 2012, was jointly planned and proposed to the park and routes run through state data base. It was approved and fine tuned with shovels in the soil in March 2013. Three plus years of trail building and finally the new section of trail is marked and open from Warm Puppy (red) to the intersection of Crossover and Pierson Ridge trail (blue). Jorba and the Ringwood Trail Crew would like to thank the many volunteers that have come out and made this project happen. Over 1500 volunteer man hours went into construction which is valued by the park as $34,500. of free labor.
The trail serves a variety of levels of mountain bikers, as well as hikers, making it a very popular trail. Although most people have been riding the trail out and back since they enjoy it so much, portions of the trail help link together many other popular trails in the park. So please do go explore the beautiful forest and many trails. Right now wild roses and lady slippers are blooming, toads, efts and centipedes are everywhere. It's a great time to be out there!
