Quannippi Trail has been giving some people a bit of trouble. While it’s one of the easiest “hikes” in the Alton Trail Chaser challenge, there is a significant lack of easily accessed information about it. I actually started second guessing whether I should take it off the list. However, the point is to include ALL of the official foot trails in town. Each one has a purpose or intention. So it shall remain for now.
In the past weeks, I have been digging up all the data I can about Quannippi Trail. I certainly had to dig deep! Most of what I finally uncovered came from published town meeting minutes. Alton Parks & Rec was kind enough to send me their brochure and map (see below) for the trail, which further confirms that it IS an official, active town trail. Although the town does not proactively maintain the footpath, they provide trail information and will replace signage as needed.
