Summary
The December 1960 Game Club report describes a marked hunter trail running from east of Miller’s Marsh toward the north end of Lake Geneserath. Red and yellow tree markings distinguished its southern and northern portions, and the club expected to mark more trails and prepare a color-coded map.
Evidence and limits
This is a local trail report, not a surveyed route or held map. The source does not establish the trail’s exact geometry, Camp 3’s precise location, or whether the additional markings and map were completed.
Open questions
- Where is the promised color-coded map, and what route did the marked trail follow?
- Which land or club records document the trail’s maintenance and access?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
