Summary

Hannigan’s to Wagner Campground is a composite route named in the 2015 map and described in Peaine’s 2021 trail packet. It links the Hannigan’s Road area with Bill Wagner Campground but is not yet represented by a confirmed line.

Map status

The full line remains unresolved. The coordinate is only an approximate campground endpoint anchor. Pending update: digitize the route from an official map or current GPS track and document whether it follows an existing road or footpath for its full length.
