Press release from the Town of Lynnfield:
July 31, 2020
Members of The Lynnfield Scout Troop four8 accumulated over the Fourth of July weekend for the first time since March to remove debris and debris from the Conservation Commission’s Bowlen/Kallenberg Quarry Route structure. Lynnfield Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are well-known volunteers in their efforts to beautify the city’s recreation spaces and trail system.
Explorers Erik Bell, Jonathan Biggar, CJ Gonzalez, Isaac Medford, Dan West, Lucas Williams and Cub Scout Zachary Wehle worked to unearth an old sale of construction fabrics amid the well-known walking and biking track. Using saws and bolt cutters, the explorers got rid of sections of chain mesh fences, rusty car parts, a refrigerator, truck tires and other large-scale debris. After transporting the debris to the beginning of the trail, the Lynnfield DPW was able to dispose of the fabrics early the next week.
The Conservation Commission’s Bow Ridge/Kallenberg Quarry is an exclusive asset at Lynnfield. Bow Ridge marks the highest point in Lynnfield, where, on a transparent day, you can see the Boston skyline to the south and Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire to the north. Kallenberg Quarry, formerly Robin Rock Granite Company, provided the granite blocks used to build U.S. Customs in Boston. The granite quarry can be noticed Lynnfield in places such as Forest Hill Cemetery, Tapley’s Tomb and Lynnfield Common.
This area also marks one of the many entrances to Lynn Woods, which is popular with area hikers and mountain bikers. Recognized as one of the best mountain bike trail areas in New England, the network boasts such trail names as “Awesome Sauce”, “Chicken Soup” and “Wicked Hard Trail”.
