Great news. This month, a new trail is being added to the GNSC empire! The trail connects the Turner property to the James property, Have a look at the schematic map, where the McCrossan-Smart property is shaded green. Starting from the southern, Turner end, look for the new spur trail leading across Tamarac Meadow and up the hill to the corner. The trail then turns north and east across open fields, over the top of a hill, and down through an old fencerow to Hamilton Lane. After the trail turns north to parallel the road, look for a small opening that leads to Hamilton Lane opposite the James pond loop trail. (Watch for traffic!) The larger opening in the fencerow also works but is much steeper due to the road grading. A word of caution: near the top of the hill on the McCrossan-Smart farm, there may be a ski track leading north into the old woodlot. This trail is not groomed and could be dangerous in icy conditions. So you may prefer to stay on the main groomed trail. This new trail is an experiment for this year, and its continued existence depends on the tireless efforts of our groomers Bob and David. If you’ve tried the trail, leave a comment by clicking the link in the next line. Let us know what you think, or any suggestions you have. Now you can add your own photos to our site – visit the Photo Galleries On February 14, we welcome the Beaver Valley BT Club to GNSC!

GNSC is a volunteer-run club with about 25 km of regularly groomed and trackset trails 
over the fields of Megan McCrossan and (your webmaster) Michael Smart. Now you can complete a GNSC Odyssey – from the County Forest, to Turners’, then Smarts’, Jameses’, and Barneses’ and back (or the reverse) – without ever retracing your steps.
