ROSCOMMON– Exciting improvements to our trails are underway at the Gahagan Nature Preserve! Thanks to generous support from the Roscommon County General Fund, the Weede Family Community Recreation Fund, and the Roscommon County Recreation Fund through the Roscommon County Community Foundation, visitors will notice brand new signs and trail markers throughout all trails.
Many of our old signs and posts were due for replacement, and we are thrilled to upgrade to more durable materials that will serve our community for years to come. As you plan your next hike, please be aware that some trail colors have changed. We encourage everyone to check out the new markers and enjoy an even better trail experience.
We are also celebrating a major milestone for trail access and improvement. For the past 25 years, entrance into the Preserve from the Brookside subdivision was limited to a narrow easement. With the purchase of two acres adjacent to the subdivision, we have been able to reroute the trail and build a sturdy new bridge over Tank Creek. The bridge deck was completed in the fall, and the railing was installed over the winter.
We are grateful to our supporters and look forward to welcoming you to explore the improved trails and new bridge at Gahagan Nature Preserve. See you on the trails!
