NEW TRAIL CONNECTING GLENCOE MILL VILLAGE TO THE <br />TOWN OF HAW RIVER NEARING COMPLETION <br />he finishing touches are being applied to the newest section <br />of the Haw River Trail /Mountains -to -Sea Trail. The Sellers <br />Falls Section connects to the Glencoe Section at Stoney Creek <br />Marina to create over seven miles of contiguous trail. The new <br />section offers over two miles of trail meandering through mature <br />hardwood forest with prominent views of the river. <br />More than 100 volunteers with the Friends of the Mountains -to- <br />Sea -Trail contributed over 2,000 hours building this trail. Efforts <br />included not only clearing the way by removing briars and roots, <br />but also leveling ground, putting in rock stepping stones, and <br />constructing six bridges. Three of the bridges are 20 feet or more <br />in length. Thank you to our faithful volunteers and to everyone <br />who contributed! <br />The Sellers Falls Section is slated to open this winter. <br />Map of the Sellers Falls section of the Haw River Trail, which connects <br />to the Glencoe Section at Stoney Creek Marina. <br />ALAMANCE COUNTY TRAILS PLAN <br />FMST volunteers designed and built <br />a new 24 foot bridge along the <br />route (top).
