Now in its third year of development, the trail will eventually stretch 45 miles from Strong to Oquossoc and be based on the life and times of Cornelia “Fly Rod” Crosby, Maine’s first registered guide.
The completion of this first section will be celebrated in Phillips on Aug. 25 at the Phillips Area Community Center. For more information about the trail, dedication and to plug in to the latest volunteer opportunities, visit www.highpeaksalliance.org.
Trail building days will be held throughout the summer on the last Saturday of each month. The next Fly Rod Crosby Trail work day is Saturday, July 28. Volunteers will meet at the Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad Museum in Phillips at 9 a.m. Park at “Sanders Station.”
Volunteers should bring sturdy work clothes, gloves and boots; clippers and other hand tools if available; a bag lunch and a big smile.
