The Hansville Greenway

Mowing

Each year we try to mow half of the two meadows and also brush the trails. If we didn’t mow, we would eventually lose the meadows to blackberries and trees. If the trails were not brushed, they would disappear within a year!

Trail Conditions

As of May 31st

The vegetation is really growing! We are striving to keep the trails open. We still have work to do. If you find trails that are closing in and making walking difficult, let us know.

When out walking you’ll find that some of the wildflowers have finished blooming and others are just starting. The Trillium have finished. So have the bleeding heart. But you’ll find other things to see.

Can’t remember where the sign posts are located? Check out our map in the General Information menu item. Remember, you can always load the Maprika app on your smart phone. With GPS enabled, you should be able to find your way with no problem.

Want to report stuff? Want to volunteer to help? Just e-mail us at info@hansvillegreenway.org or you can contact Art at 360-638-0738 to make your report. You can also comment on our Facebook page.

We need all the help we can get, so if you’ve ever wanted to volunteer your time for a really good cause, we’d love to have you. Any time you can contribute is really appreciated! And you’ll get bragging rights for working with us! We have recently picked up some new members but we can always use more.

News and Events

The connector trail between Buck Lake Rd. and Cora Ave. will be closed to the public for a while. There is a parcel of land along this trail that has been purchased and the buyer will be constructing a driveway from Buck Lake Rd. to his property. When finished, he will share the driveway with Greenway hikers.

We have recently placed emergency locator markers on our signposts. These are GPS locators tied to the county emergency service. If you are in trouble or injured, when you call 911, give your location in relation to one of the red markers.

We replaced the steps on the viewing platform at Lower Hawks Pond within the next week. We will be working on the steps that go up the hill from the beach at the lighthouse. While technically this is not part of the Greenway, we help the County out when they need us.
