The trail will remain a “primitive hiking trail” for “walking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing,” but no motorized use and IF&W can close the trail or terminate the agreement at any time for any reason.
John Melrose, speaking for Vassalboro’s Trails Committee, said the agreement codifies existing arrangements.
