I was told “The property has two access points via O’Connell Drive & Sandy Lane…”

Any more news on this? I am in the area and would be interested in at least having a look at it. Is this private land at this point in time and would I need permission to even have a look at it?
Thanks

From what I understand it’s not private, it’s owned by HRM.

Thanks, I might make it in this week. to have a look.
Let us know what it looks like, @Snider.
I didn’t see anyone step up so didn’t dig any deeper. Councilor Hendsbee seemed serious enough to offer a small pot of money for the project.
However, I would say for Mountain Bike Halifax to take any action we would need sufficient body of volunteers and it would need to be developed to a standard of course.

My apologies. I live near there and did say I would Take a look at it. Not long after, I developed some knee trouble and couldn’t walk very far and I just had a death in my family.
Perhaps this weekend. I know nothing about building MTB trails but I suspect that a lot of marsh/wet land or steepness is not desirable. Just how much land would be needed to develop a trail?

No worries @digger.
From what I recall looking at the map it is a pretty small parcel.
Steep good wet bad

@TrainingWheels, @digger… on the topic of Porters Lake…
Anyone see if this parcel has any interesting ground?
I actually live very close to that area… actually walk my dogs down those roads. I know the housing area is all built on rock but not sure at this point if its swamp past that.
I will take my dogs sometime soon and go deeper into that land.
Last shift tonight then I’m off for a few days so hopefully I’ll check it out then.

That would be great, @TrainingWheels. Take some pictures if you can.
I was walking the dogs and the baby in the pack but got too cold for the baby to go deeper into the woods I’ll try soon though
