- History
- Springwater Parks and Trails Committee created in 2009 and started hiking in 2010 at Reynolds Gull.
- The committee presented a plan for a hiking trail around the Town of Springwater in November, 2011.
- The Committee was disbanded in 2012 and reconvened as Springwater Trails. Since that time we have led 651 hikes (averaging 46.5 hikes each year).
- The Calendar on SpringwaterTrails.org started in March 2012. Since that time, we have led a total of 651 hikes (averaging 46.5 hikes each year)
- In May 2012, Springwater Trails was incorporated.
- Starting in 2013, we held Annual Meetings each spring until our last meeting in August 2020 (which was held outside at Reynolds Gull)
- In 2020 we canceled 2 hikes in March, all 4 in April and 3 in May because of COVID. But we completed 41 over the year.
- Since our last Annual Meeting we have led 262 hikes from September 2021 through April 12, 2026
- We generally plan to skip hiking on Christmas and Easter and July 4, which means on average we have canceled 3 hikes a year over 14 years.
