National Trails Day recognizes the incredible benefits federal\, state\, and local trails provide for recreation and exposure to nature. We will be doing a ~2 mile hike up Wentworth Trail to the summit of Mt Israel (~4 miles out and back). From there we will make our way down\, clearing water bars as we descend. We will meet at Mead Base on Diamond Ledge Road and start our day from there.\n\n\n\nIf participants are able\, we recommend bringing tools such as hoes and maddocks and PPE such as work gloves and eye protection. The SLA will be providing tools and PPE\, but these are limited. We recommend bringing plenty of water\, snacks\, lunch\, extra layers\, hiking boots\, sunscreen\, and bug spray. This event is weather dependent. We will reach out if conditions become unsafe for the day. For more information\, or to sign up for this volunteer program\, visit the SLA website (squamlakes.org) or contact the SLA directly (603-968-7336).\n\n\n\nFor more than 75 years\, the trails in the Squam Lakes region have been maintained by the Squam Lakes Association. There are 57 miles of hiking trails and 3 miles of mountain bike trails in the SLA network\, and the SLA performs over 2\,500 hours of trail construction and maintenance each year with help from Volunteer Trail Adopters.\n\n\n\nThe Squam Lakes Association is dedicated to conserving for public benefit the natural beauty\, peaceful character and resources of the watershed. In collaboration with local and state partners the SLA promotes the protection\, careful use and shared enjoyment of the lakes\, mountains\, forests\, open spaces and wildlife of the Squam Lakes Region.
