The Cohos Trail Association lost a lion in the person of director Ray Chaput, who had been with the club for nearly its entire run of 20 years. If you’ve hiked the Cohos Trail, you have seen his handiwork in signage, new trails, trail registers, blazes, kiosks, and more.
PRESS RELEASE
The Cohos Trail Association
STEWARTSTOWN — Just after midnight on September 22nd, a large poplar tree lost its fight with 40 mph gusts of wind and crashed down at the head of the Cohos Trail southbound out of Coleman State Park, effectively sealing off the trail overnight on the day the Cohos Trail Association was to hold its Cohos Trail 20th Anniversary Bash celebration at nearby Coleman Estates. A bit of hand sawing and branch tugging on the poplar and more work on a nearby foot-diameter fir tree freed up the trail and the celebration was on.
