Story featuring the Pemi Trail whose fiirst phase was mostly built by Town Highway Department staff.

Outdoor recreation remains among the healthiest activities to pursue, and one of the best offerings in the Lakes Region is the series of walking, hiking, and biking trails that are being developed alongside the lakes and rivers, many of them utilizing old railroad beds.

Please keep off the roads as much as possible. We are all working to get things back up and running. Thank you!

Many roads in town are closed due to trees and wires down. Please stay off of the roads tonight if possible, and use caution if traveling if you have to be out. There are far too many incidents to have officers posted at. Each incident has reflective cones out to warn motorists of a closed road. DO NOT attempt to drive over downed wires, don’t touch any wires on the ground, and stay away from downed trees. The power companies are doing their best to take care of the hazards and restore power. Please be patient, as this is a widespread storm affecting a large region.

The following as a list of closed roads, we will do our best to update it as the storm goes on:

Danforth Brook Rd. (OPEN)
N. Main St. Near Hobart (OPEN)
Wulamat Rd. By Bristol Shores (OPEN)
Bristol Hill Rd. at Daniels Rd. (OPEN)
Hillside Ave. (OPEN)
Castle Ln. (OPEN)
Tristin Ln. (OPEN)
Wicom Rd. (OPEN)
Upper Birch Rd. (OPEN)

Thank you! Have a safe night!!
