WHERE'S THE TRAIL?!

This time of year, the falling leaves cover the existing trails and the undeveloped woods equally. This can make it hard to find the trail since its covered!

Please keep an eye out for trail blazes and other markers that show the path. If you get turned around, stay calm, assess your situation, and try to retrace your steps and look for landmarks.



The above photos were taken on a real KLT trail!

Most of KLT properties get great cell reception, but properties like Alewive Woods can be spotty.

Stay alert!

The leaves will also cover falling hazards like roots and small stumps.

Slow down and watch your step!
