the trail in Glen Huron was in dire need of some TLC.&nbsp; This year, starting in March and working until end of May, and thanks to a very small group of dedicated and hardworking volunteers, we managed to bring the trail back into shape.&nbsp; As it stands right now, the entire 50 km Mad River section of the Ganaraska Hiking Trail is open for hiking.&nbsp;<br><br>The entire trail has been re-blazed and had much of the dead-fall of trees and brush removed along with cutting back of overgrown branches, vines and small shrubs\/trees, etc.&nbsp; The section that requires the most ongoing maintenance is the abandoned rail line between Utopia and New Lowell.&nbsp; As the summer season progresses, plant growth will continue and, therefore, another rail line clean up will be organized later&nbsp;in the year.&nbsp;<br><br>Thanks to everyone who worked on this project to finally have this trail reopened!&nbsp; Happy Hiking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2253\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/?attachment_id=2253\" class=\"wp-image-2253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image-1200x1600.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2254\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/?attachment_id=2254\" class=\"wp-image-2254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image1.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2255\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image2-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/?attachment_id=2255\" class=\"wp-image-2255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image2-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/ganaraska-hiking-trail.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Image2-1200x900.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mad River section of the Ganaraska Trail, between Utopia and the westerly cairn of&nbsp;
