Because the trail encroaches on private land, the Commission is planning to relocate it to town property. However, instead of providing clarity, the Board decided NOT to publish a trail map at this time. This leaves hikers and residents in the dark about exact boundaries.

In the immediate term, the Commission is diverting the scheduled Kinsley Loop trail cleanup to Collins Park.

Longer-form draft.
At the April 2 Springfield Conservation Commission meeting, a significant issue regarding our local recreation space was brought to light: the Kinsley Loop Trail has been found to encroach on private property. Research presented by Chair Erin Meding, involving the Registry of Deeds and zoning records, confirmed that part of the established trail crosses onto a private parcel. This discovery creates a direct conflict between public recreational access and private property rights. In response, the Commission decided to move the scheduled trail cleanup from Kinsley Loop to Collins Park while they work on a long-term plan to relocate the trail onto Town property. Notably, the Commission also decided not to publish a trail map at this time. This decision leaves residents and trail users without clear information regarding exactly where the public path ends and private property begins. We will continue to monitor how the Commission manages this relocation and whether they will ultimately provide the public with the maps and signage necessary for safe and legal trail use. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/springfield/conservation-commission/2026-04-02/ #MeetingWatch #SpringfieldNH
