Design and Construction of Foot Trail at Taconic Mountain Ramble State Park

1. Construct approximately 625 feet of hiking trail along route as flagged from top of slope at ADA seating/landing area to the bridge that is downhill at the garden entrance 2. Finished trail width – approximately 4’ wide; roughed in trail width can be 6’ 3. Construct trail with slight inslope (approx. 2-3%) so that trail use does not shed surfacing or accelerate erosion. Back slope and down slope should be constructed to remain less than 45% 4. Surface trail to 4’ width with 3/4”minus material to a depth of 3”. 5. Install stone stairs in switchbacks to achieve sustainable grade transition – approx. 2-4 steps depending upon grade of trail segment.
