Review of Houghton Falls Trail recommended corrections as follows:

1. The Falls Area – right after the railroad bed section the trail is very close to the gorge.

Erosion over time and compacting soil around the tress could cause root damage to the large trees.  He recommends moving the trail away from the slop.  This is the area that is the best for viewing the “falls” culverts, but recommends moving the trail away and having a path going to a lookout spot.

2. Echo Dells Area – before the stairway, people are going down into the dells area where the trail is near the edge. Recommendation is to move the trail away from the edge and piling deadfall over the old section of the trail to discourage additional damage.

There will be a walk through the trail at Houghton Falls Nature Preserve on May 13, 2014 at 5:00 p.m.  Any action on trails was tabled until May 13^th.
