Robert Frost Trail update

The Fund for North Bennington, Inc. and the Robert Frost Stone House Museum have jointly opened a walking trail from the museum, located on Route 7A in Shaftsbury, west to Paran Creek. An extension of the trail has been laid out to the swimming beach at Lake Paran. More information about the trail, including maps and photographs, can be found here.

The Fund for North Bennington, Inc. hopes to be able to construct a small footbridge over Paran Creek in spring 2011 to connect the two segments of trail, and a section of boardwalk along the lake shore. Most of the trail to Paran Creek is on land formerly owned by Robert Frost, and acquired by The Fund for North Bennington, Inc. thanks to a grant from The Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, and a "bargain sale"by the prior landowner.
