The Mountain Ear | Thursday, June 27, 2013 | Page 15 As the Wheel Turns Good news for mountain bikers By Peter Minnich

It’s been a long time com- ing. The 450 acre parcel of land, known locally as “the mitigation land,” is now legiti- mate recreation land under an agreement between the Town of Conway and the NHDOT. Located between the North- South Road and the Nature Conservancy boundary, on the west side of Rattlesnake and Middle Mountains, this chunk of land was purchased in the 1990’s by the NH State Department of Transporta- tion for construction of the Route 16 bypass. If the bypass is ever built, the remainder of land not used for the road would become town property, to mitigate the loss of town conservation property used for the road. Until that time, the property remains in the hands of the NHDOT. The Mitigation Land is beautiful forestland – deep mature soft woods on the flat land east of Pudding Pond, Peter Minnich Peter Minnich and sunny, open oak woods User-friendly kiosk at the trail entrance at Pine Hill Park in Rutland, Well-built wooden bridges such as the "hourglass bridge" on Pillar to higher on the flank of the Vermont features a permanent, detailed map and other park information.
