No more boots will be lost in the mud at the Outlet at Terrace Pond in Wawayanda State Park, thanks to the floating walkway project currently underway at this popular New Jersey hiking destination. This project is a perfect example of how we are stronger and more resilient when we work together. The floating walkway materials were purchased through the generosity of Trail Conference supporters who saw a need to help improve the trail experience. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service delivered 10 loads of floating walkway materials via helicopter in early July. Our West Jersey Trail Crew volunteers then began assembly on July 12. Additional support for the crew’s work is being provided by Wawayanda State Park. The section of the Terrace Pond Circular Trail that crosses the Outlet is closed for the duration of the work. NJDEP Trail Stewards stationed at Terrace Pond have been invaluable in keeping visitors at a safe distance from the worksite and directing them around the closure. The project is expected to be completed by fall 2020. |
