Useful Stuff

Sterling Section members can use this area to post information that would be useful for each other.

Here is a pdf copy of the High Water Route sign for the Lamoille River crossing. If you notice that a sign is missing from one of the bulletin boards on the trail approaching the river, you can print out a fresh copy with this pdf.

Here is a description of an annual maintenance job for the Section. Each spring when the Lamoille River floods, it dramatically reshapes the southern bank where the Long Trail crosses the "back channel". This means that later each spring, after the water recedes, Section members should plan on reestablishing a blazed trail route through the back channel area. Here is a link to some pictures of the backchannel to give an idea of what we are talking about . . .
