TRAIL REPAIRS

The area of the Maitland Trail (upstream from the Benmiller bridge) that was badly damaged by landslides last winter and spring, has now been repaired. Our work crew has also created a re-route, so that if more landslides occur in the future, or if the weather has been wet, there is a permanent alternative to take you safely around this area. PLEASE NOTE:
In the revision I sent recently, I included directions for the earlier alternate access to the Maitland Trail from the Benmiller Line-Londesboro Road intersection...for those who remembered this earlier route. Please do NOT use this route anymore - this property has new owners whose holiday abode is in this area, and whose dogs would get upset at this intrusion. (barking - not biting, but it would definitely not be fair to disturb these friends/neighbours.) Please stick to the route as it is described below.
Alternate Route Above the Benmiller Bridge.
Heading upstream:
From facing the trail entrance at the north-east end of the Benmiller Bridge, turn left and following Benmiller Line heading north along the road to the junction with Londesboro Rd (#31) Turn right and follow Londesboro Road east to Cherrydale Road. Turn right (south) and follow Cherrydale Rd. to just past the laneway that is on the right and watch for the entrance to the trail. (on the right-hand side.) Follow this trail as it zigzags down to rejoin the main trail at about the 19.9 km point.
Heading downstream,
at 19.9 km the trail zig-zags up to the Cherrydale road for 125m then heads North (left) along the Cherrydale road for 400m to Londesboro Road. Turn left (West) along Londesboro Road to near the junction with BenMiller Line (for about 400m ) then follow the blue trail ( turning left and following Benmiller Line along the road.) Total on reroute is 1.3 km versus the old route 0.6 km i.e. adds 0.7 km to the trail
