Summary
By August 1980, the Port St. James Association reported completion of a roughly half-mile walking trail from the end of White Birch Road, beside the Old Stables Campground, to Little Font Lake and back. The report says the trail included plant-identification signs and benches.
The source establishes the reported 1980 trail project and its road access, but not a surveyed route, builders, or present-day condition.
Open questions
- What is the trail’s current name and route?
- Does it remain open, and do the signs and benches survive?
- Can Port St. James Association records or a map document the trail?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
Sources
- Reports that a walking trail of about one-half mile had been completed, meandering from the end of White Birch Road adjacent to the Old Stables Campground down to Little Font Lake and back, with plant-identification signs and benches. It does not provide a surveyed trail map, builders, or current status. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1980-08_Beaver-Beacon
- The held twelve-page August issue PDF is paired with the canonical OCR source and confirms the published trail report; it does not expand the source-specific identity, event, or outcome claims.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1980-08_Beaver-Beacon
