Note that the water level near the bike is creeping onto the rail trail. This alerts the NH Bureau of Trails, and they hire trappers to "remove" the beavers. This action triggered the xNHAT to run in with the offer of a Beaver Deceiver. The NH Bureau of Trails cancelled the trappers, the Beaver Deceiver was installed and the beavers are now happily working in their pond and are not currently hats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/7f4fe6dc-50a1-4712-8155-ee54f367ab57/img-7674_orig.jpg News & Events - What is a Beaver Deceiver? - Make it stand out DURING: Here is the equipment utilized to construct a Beaver Deceiver. Most of this is located underwater where you cannot see it. The height of the pipe outlet end regulates the water level of the pond, NOT the beavers and their dam. The cost for this Beaver Deceiver and installation was $2500, should be a good investment for a long lasting solution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/56544224-1d35-42a4-8acf-13c85524a6f6/img-7049_orig.jpg News & Events - What is a Beaver Deceiver? - Make it stand out AFTER: The water level is regulated so that the trail is dry, the pond is full but not overflowing, the beavers are happy, the wetland is preserved, the Bureau of Trails saves money and the xNHAT has made a good investment with donation money!

Eustis Road in Littleton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/71385c3a-e104-4ea9-abcb-cb935b2979d1/hogan-3.jpeg Trail Construction Projects Culvert in Hogan Road https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/f0a90522-a122-4fa8-99f2-85b0b9612862/ammo-rail-trail-3.jpeg Trail Construction Projects That's "Sunglasses Jeff", NH Bureau of Trails Staff. He was in charge of mowing 4.5 miles of the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail in Littleton and Bethlehem, first step in the preparation of the trail for the ledgpack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/f7aa2f16-ef51-4ddf-abd0-ff65e4ac384b/randolph-before.jpg Trail Construction Projects Presidential RT BEFORE: The 4" rainstorm in May of 2023 took out sections of the trail in the Randolph area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/1600df4b-d81b-4e97-8124-90daa84616ad/ammo-rail-trail-4.jpeg Trail Construction Projects That's Hi-Vis Hunter of the NH Bureau of Trails with the Harley Rake. The carbide points on the roller grind up the grass and roots along with stirring up the rocks. Hunter used this to prepare the trail for grading. It was a hot and dusty job but Hunter finished it ahead of schedule! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/96a184f6-f71d-43bd-91ef-3eb6aa67c533/grading.jpeg Trail Construction Projects DURING: Don working the trail surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/3e104dc3-5fe2-4bfd-9f35-a9102fc3af8d/ammo-rail-trail-5.jpeg Trail Construction Projects For the final step in preparation of the trail for the ledgepack, Hi-Vis Hunter graded the trail. All set now for surfacing, which started on Monday Sept 8th. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/c3b6c4e7-bba2-4146-9ec6-6ed32af9f766/during.jpeg Trail Construction Projects DURING: Don working the trail surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/485be99d-2967-4da7-9fd1-af74c3b9ef1e/ammo-rail-trail-6.jpeg Trail Construction Projects Wow!! That is the NEW ledgepack surface applied to the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail in May of 2025. There is now 2.7 more miles of this new carpet on the trail in the area north and south of the Bath Covered Bridge. Enjoy the smooth ride! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/b330e2b9-873d-411b-a346-ba3484b31f20/after.jpeg Trail Construction Projects AFTER: The new railbed and trail surface! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/ae7ae996-a61d-4922-850f-5fa21d51aa28/ammo-rail-trail-1.jpg Trail Construction Projects Here is the finished product... smooth and solid, great for trail users of all ages and abilities, plus resistant to weather challenges! Thank you Merritt Gifford for your beautiful photo! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/c7771d51-28fc-4efb-b275-6dd69879a34f/river.jpg Trail Construction Projects Before: In April 2024, the river did a good job of taking out the trail at the Bath Covered Bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/71aad040-50e4-42d8-aed2-bdbf775118bf/bridge-team.jpeg Trail Construction Projects Here is the NH Bureau of Trails team that finished the last 500 feet of surfacing between the 2 trestle bridges. They brought in small dump trucks from their offices in each corner of the state to finish the job. The contractor's BIG dump trucks delivering the ledgepack were too heavy to travel the decking on the bridges, so this team did the job! FINISHED, October 21, 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/081c8ef0-2562-4e5e-b533-d8566df5a2c5/river-after.jpg Trail Construction Projects WOW! Here's the "After" photo! A nice repair project performed by the NH Bureau of Trails, Ammonoosuc Valley ATV Club and Chief, of Chief's Quarry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/cdf1ff21-af31-4970-934f-abef68c3e826/trestle-bridge.jpeg Trail Construction Projects New deck and railings on the Israel River Bridge! The new support beams are hidden below the deck. Note the smooth ledgepack transition between deck and trail, no more BumpBump! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/f91b6003-4d3d-4bd0-9d03-0d7179d35dcd/after-lisbon.jpg Trail Construction Projects But Wait...What's this? More restorative work on the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail in Lisbon! This is what quality ditching, grading, crowning and a new surface can do for keeping water running AWAY from the rail trail! This is an experiment to test a new surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/696e2fc1a6ef56224e803a16/1771290261696-NAOQ5SD0EMNGEZYQTVB4/unsplash-image-NezcJZVzGHY.jpg
