Snowshoe Trails
The Community Forest trails are opened for snowshoeing.  These are a great resource for folks who would like to get some exercise this winter.  All trails are marked by yellow signs and diamond shaped markers.
There are three points of access.  
In Beecher Falls, park just south of the finishing building in sight of the customs.  Follow the snowmobile trail into a clearing and look for the yellow CCF sign.
You can also start at the railbed just north of town and hike up to the sugarhouse and beyond.
Lastly, you can park at the end of Greenhill Road (stay left and don't block the snowmobile trail) and start just left of the sugarhouse.  This trail leads to the border and down to Beecher Falls.
