NCTA Wampum Chapter

NCTA Wampum Chapter Wampum Chapter Of the North Country Trail Association Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio Our end goal is to eventually have all 120 miles off of the road.

The North Country Trail Association Wampum Chapter values just, diverse, equitable, and inclusive trail experiences. We are committed to these principles for everyone’s enjoyment of the North Country National Scenic Trail. We strive to better include those who experience barriers to trails by prioritizing equitable solutions to ensure all can connect to and care for the Trail in a way that is mean

ingful for them. The North Country National Scenic Trail in Wampum Chapter territory starts at Alpha Pass at McConnell's Mill State Park in Portersville, PA and runs southwestward through the PA State Gamelands 148, through the Trail Town of Wampum, Enon Valley, the Trail Town of Darlington and through the State Gamelands 285. It then crosses the state border into Ohio, entering Beaver Creek State Forest lands and Sheepskin Hollow and Beaverkettle Properties. It passes through Beaver Creek State Park before hitting the road the rest of the way to Zoar, Ohio, passing many quaint towns along Rt. 30. The trail is a combination of 'in the woods' pathways and temporary, connecting road walks. We appreciate our landowners - both public and private - for hosting the trail on their property.

The western end of this new NCT section in Elkton has been a challenge when it comes to ODNR's request to keep that water flowing nice and clean. Today's mission was putting in a 16' bridge over a little stream - and the water is flowing. Secondary mission was to walk out and get good measurements for the next large bridge.
Thanks to Michael, Tom, Bill, Frank, Dr. Bill, Karen, and Rick for braving the heat, humidity, and some REALLY SERIOUS swarms of mosquitoes.

While Lisa B. lead an evening ladies hike, Beaver Borough was on hand to tend any out of control fire while the Chapter continued the clean up from felled tree earlier this year. Big thank you!

Congratulations to the Wampum Chapter Volunteers and our private landowner (who is also a volunteer) who were recognized this year by the NCTA for their contributions to the trail and the organization. All well-deserved - a great group of people to be associated with!

Good Morning,
Jack Harding has arranged for the New Beaver Borough Volunteer Fire Dept. to be on hand when we burn piles of wood from the fallen pine tree at the Rte. 168 trail head of the Enon section.

The department will be on hand about 5:30 PM today, Tuesday the 25th. Jack & I will be there. All are welcome to join us. Our neighbors to the trailhead requested we take this safety precaution as they were concerned the fire could spread to their property.

Should be a short but somewhat exciting burn. Hot dogs and marsh mellows are encouraged.

The Monday crew was in Elkton yesterday working their way eastward along the towpath to the site of the next large bridge to build. The project involves crossing two watercourses and swampy ground in between and the plan is to go overtop of an old fiberglass culvert pipe in the towpath. The team was also able to clear some of the collapsed material within the pipe ensuring that the water goes where it is supposed to go to get to Little Beaver Creek. Thanks to Michael, Dr. Bill, Karen, Frank, Bill, and Handlebar for their efforts today! Photos provided by Frank and Karen.
