Summary

The June 1981 Beaver Beacon reports Port St. James entrance signs, renovated Donegal Bay bathhouse and park amenities, a planned tennis-court lot, Hidden Valley trail work, and a purchased access lot toward Keebler Trail and McCaully Point.

Evidence and limits

The report does not establish deeds, builders, exact trail or lot geometry, or later completion.

Open questions

Was the Hidden Valley trail, reported “nearing completion” in June 1981, finished, and when?
Is the 1981 report’s “Keebler Trail” the same route as Kuebler Trail, and is “McCaully Point” the same place the 1982 report calls “McAnulley Point”?
Was the planned tennis-court lot built?

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
