All orange parcel are city-owned parcels along Bog Road, in Rockland. To the right is Benner Hill. The proposed trail will not be a straight line, but a windy trail.
ROCKLAND – A 2017 idea to create a trail connecting Rockland’s harbor to a parcel of land known as the Bog may soon see its first completed trail segment, the Bog Overlook Trail.
Rockland’s Public Works department is contributing labor and equipment for a small parking lot of six spaces off of Bog Road, near Mountain Road. Georges River Land Trust has offered to loan trail equipment. A permit application is in process for a small bridge over a narrow stream, and a parking lot sign and kiosk will soon promote the map that is being created for an estimated third-of-a-mile footpath into the woods on city land.
