Summary

The December 1960 Game Club report describes a marked hunter trail running from east of Miller’s Marsh toward the north end of Lake Geneserath. Red and yellow tree markings distinguished its southern and northern portions, and the club expected to mark more trails and prepare a color-coded map.

Evidence and limits

This is a local trail report, not a surveyed route or held map. The source does not establish the trail’s exact geometry, Camp 3’s precise location, or whether the additional markings and map were completed.

Open questions

  • Where is the promised color-coded map, and what route did the marked trail follow?
  • Which land or club records document the trail’s maintenance and access?

    Describes a heavily used trail from below Camp 3, east of Miller's Marsh, to the north end of Lake Geneserath, marked with red tree paint south of the trail and yellow paint north of it. It says hunters requested more marked trails and that a color-coded map was expected; it does not provide a survey, map, work log, or exact trail geometry.
