The Pines Project
For every body
The Dalton Open Space and Recreation Plan seeks to enhance the access and use of “The Pines” property through an improved walking and hiking trail network. The Pines is a unique forested ~40-acre in-town property located adjacent to the intersection of High and Pleasant Streets.
Enhancements include an approximate ½ mile ADA compliant trail accessible from High Street and adjacent to Dalton’s senior center. Existing and new trails will be built or maintained with appropriate drainage and signage to encourage exploration of the properties features which include; hardwood and softwood forests, the ledges, wetlands and many view-points to see the forest’s many creatures.
