PINKHAM’S GRANT — Trail crew members and two HistoriCorps volunteer trainers are reconstructing and improving badly deteriorated sections of the 0.4-mile-long Glen Ellis Trail that dead-ends at the spectacular 65-foot-high waterfall.
Because it was built in 1938-39 under the federal Civilian Conservation Corps public works program, the Glen Ellis Day Use Area qualifies for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Both the State Historic Preservation Officer and the U.S. Forest Service have pledged to ensure that the work at Glen Ellis be undertaken with a keen appreciation of the area’s outstanding natural beauty, cultural and heritage importance and unique recreational opportunities.
