Story goes that one of these farmers bought a Model T Ford and needed to build a road to the farm. The work was dirty, hot and lasted for days. The memories of building this road lasted a lifetime. The Woodtick and North Country Trails cross at this point and taking a right on the North Country brings you to the Woodtick Impoundment a great place to observe waterfowl during the spring and summer. The North country Trail is an extension of a national trail connecting the Lewis and Clark Trail with the Appalachian Trail in the East.
Maps are available from the forest service office.
This was not only planted for it's lumber, but to enhance the water quality, habitat, plants and wild life. The North Country Trail is for non-motorized vehicles and requires that you park your vehicle here before use. To the left of this area is a gentle slope from which soil was removed to build the railroad grade on the right hand side. This is also a great place to view eagles. This is the location of the Diamond Lake back country campsite.
