I'm an avid geocacher and love caching on this historic path. As I drove by the entrance on Paxton Rd near the Spencer Airport, I noticed the trailhead had a gate with multiple closed signs. I have been planning to hike in this area but can find no information on why its closed. Anyone have an idea??

I just found this on the Spencer Snowbirds Snowmobile Club website, spencersnowbirds.com/birds/"The trail between Paxton Rd and Moose Hill Rd that runs through Moose Hill Wildlife Management Area will be closed until further notice. Please understand, this suspension is a result of a misjudgment on our part, and some bad information. We inadvertently made modifications to the trail that were not allowed in our contract with Fisheries and Wildlife. The contract will remain suspended until we can resolve all of the issues at hand, and Fisheries and Wildlife is satisfied with the resolutions. ALSO: The trail heading to Rte 9 is currently closed due to landowner issues. We are actively working to put alternate routes together, but this is an extremely complicated section of trail that was marked as low priority. With the Moose Hill closure, we will revisit this area and hopefully have an alternative posted soon." |

I am a leader with a local boy scout troop and next weekend (6/3/17) we were planning on hiking the Mid State Trail from the Leicester/Spencer border (our Troop is from Leicester) to Treasure Valley Camp and spend the night there. Given the information above, is there anyone I can contact or suggestions for an alternative place to pick up the trail?

The trail is open to hikers across Mass Wildlife property at Paxton Rd. The sign is meant for snowmobilers...
