 Good new folks! At long last the
yellow-blazed Nuclear Lake Loop Trail was opened
on July 21. With the help of George Muller and Fred Gerty we were
able to put the finishing touches on the trail (though more fine
tuning can always be done). George brought his wheel
and his detailed measurements are given below.
The trail is 1.1 miles long and its southern
terminus is 1.2 miles from Rt. 55 or 0.9 mi from blue-blazed side
trail leading to Rt. 55 parking area. Traveling north on the AT, the
northern end of the loop trail is reached in 0.8 miles making the
complete foot path around the lake 1.9 (1.1 plus 0.8)
miles long. To complete the description, from
the north end of the Nuclear Lake Loop trail it
is 2.9 miles via the AT to County Rt. 20 (West Dover Rd.).
