What's up with the Lamoille "back channel"? Each spring when the Lamoille River floods, it dramatically reshapes the southern bank where the Long Trail crosses the "back channel". This means that later each spring, after the water recedes, Section members should plan on reestablishing a blazed trail route through the back channel area.
