Whatís wrong with a trail system consisting exclusively of old logging roads? It doesnít provide the experience that potential visitors will seek out and maintenance is only possible with heavy machinery. Seeking to help Maryland DNR improve visitation in this gorgeous Eastern Shore park as well as add more metro-DC riding possibilities, the IMBA-affiliated Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts (MORE) secured a Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grant to rebuild the trail system at Rosaryville State Park. Trail Solutions was hired to lead the hybrid construction crew, cutting the trail tread using a walk-behind compact utility loader (Ditchwitch SK 500) with MORE volunteers completing the finish work behind the machine. With more trail construction slated for the future and multiple water crossing strategies that will be employed, Rosaryville is fast becoming MD DNRís test area for trailbuilding and maintenance techniques.
