Stonedam Island trail

Just in from the dock is a bulletin board with a trail map posted. Sometimes actually finding the start of the trail that leads to the top can be a little tricky, but if you head up to where the restroom is, you will see the blazed trees marking the trail right there and it heads off to the left (south). The shorter walk to the top is pretty gentle, and there are other short trails along the shoreline that are really pretty. Enjoy! And bring your bug repellent.

I didn't get a shot of the trail map but here are some other signs on Stonedam that may be helpful.

I second Kenny's suggestion about the bug repellent. I've been chased off the island a few times by vicious mosquitoes.

You know I never read that sign before. The key section being:

Members:

Year Round Dawn to Dusk

General Public:

Independence Day Weekend to Labor Day, Weekends and Holidays only.

I guess I was tresspassing every time I went on the island. I've never been able to get a dock on a weekend. I'll remember this the next time the LRCT asks for money to preserve land for everyone.

Don't forget that there is a cool beach on the Weirs side of the island with a great tree for jumping off of and rocks for throwing! Have FUN!
