A RIDER CRUISES a section of the Chandler Ridge Trail in the Moosalamoo NRA. Trail work was done in 2011-2012 that created the 10-mile loop that connects to a 3-mile up-and-back trail from the Silver Lake parking lot off Route 53 just a half-mile south of Lake Dunmore. The loop is part of a much broader trail network that is gaining attention from bike riders throughout the region, though is still relatively unknown.
