MECCAWE TRAIL GUIDE

There are two maintained trails available for nature hiking on Meccawe Club land.  They are fairly easy trails but with some stretches that are often wet or muddy.  They follow logging trails and an Old Stage Road that passes through the Club’s managed forest lands.  Follow the yellow trail signs.

Short Loop Trail – 1.5 miles (follow map symbols 1-5)

1.  Trail begins at the forest edge past the far end of the dam.  It follows an old well-worn logging trail that winds slowly uphill through a mature hardwood forest and then crosses a small brook and passes through a young forest before ending at the wide Old Stage Road.

2.  Take a left on the Stage Road and continue along it downhill and across a bridge that crosses a larger brook.  Continue past a small wildlife food plot on your left and a larger clearing on your right that the Club eventually intends to turn into another wildlife food plot.

3.  Continue on the Stage Road across another stream a short distance until coming to a metal gate on your left that enters onto a wide grassy road that was built as a winter snow machine trail.

4.  Take this trail through mixed hemlock and hardwoods until it comes out at the Meccawe access road. 

5.  Take a left on the access road to return to the Lodge.

Outer Loop Trail – 2.6 miles

1.  This trial begins at the far end of the dam the same as the Short Loop Trail. 

2.  Take a right up the Stage Road past the Old Homestead (only a cellar hole remains) and aged apple trees. 

6.  At the top of the hill are various trail signs on a post.  Take the marked,  grassy trail to the left.
