HEAR YE! Hear Ye! Trail Clearing May 9th - just days away.
It seems the map link broke on our earlier post. We're not sure why, but here's a new map. Just a quick note - we've been known to do a fair amount of trail clearing with off and on showers. It takes a real rain to stop us 🙂
Opportunities Abound!
If you enjoy walking in the woods and take great satisfaction in snipping branches and tossing debris to the side, then you are just the person we want!
The AEHS Trail committee is seeking volunteers for the annual Great Carrying Place Portage Trail clean-up day. If you own loppers or just a pair of gloves, we want you!
You will have the opportunity to help clear the portage trail of winter debris where Arnold’s army marched 251 years ago this fall, and to discuss the Arnold Expedition with like-minded patriots while you snip away.
We will meet on May 9 at 9 AM on Carry Ponds Road, on the west side of the Kennebec River, north of Pleasant Ridge Plantation. www.google.com/maps/d/edit...
MEETING DETAILS:
DATE: Saturday, May 9, 2026
TIME: 9:00 AM
LOCATION: Carry Ponds Road (West side of the Kennebec River)
RAIN DATE: Sunday, May 17
At noon, we will gather at the AEHS cabin on Middle Carry Pond to enjoy the bag lunches you brought from home.
DIRECTIONS:
Travel via US 201 to Bingham, ME. At the south junction of Maine Highway 16, turn west onto Route 16 and immediately cross the Kennebec River. At the end of the bridge, turn right (north) onto the unnumbered highway (Pleasant Ridge Road).
It is 12 miles partially on dirt roads to the gathering location; plan on a full 25 minutes from the bridge. Where the road forks, bear right onto the Carry Ponds Road. Drive about 8 miles to a turnout where there is an AEHS sign on the right side of the road.
FOR MORE INFORMATION:
Call Bob Donovan at 858-5015 or Norm Kalloch at 628-4023.
See you there!

Fellow hiking enthusiast, Sarah Benner, recently hiked on The Great Carrying Place Portage Trail. If you're wondering what the trail is like she shared this with us.
