Newlyweds make for nice picture subjects. Gerry and Marga Cate are no exceptions but notice how their glow is enhanced by the backdrop of the Town of Lockport Nature Trail Preserve. The newlyweds are from White River Junction, VT and are avid hikers. When they heard about the new Lockport Town Nature Trails here at the Lockport Home Page, they put it on their list while traveling through the area. They said the trails ranks near the top of any they've been to in many different areas including the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adriondacks of New York.

The City of Lockport Grant Wilderness Park has been such a success with tourists the Town of Lockport decided to turn one of its unused properties, on the north side of the city, into a similar venture. With the encouragement and enthusiasm of long-time Lockport Town booster, Dick Gallagher, access development of this 112-acre nature preserve south of Slayton Settlement road and west of Day Road began in the Spring of 2001. The new Lockport Town Supervisor, John Austin, and members of the Town Board had been seeking to expand recreational services in the town and development of this wilderness area appears of fit meet a segment of those goals. Gallagher's family owned the property from 1934 to 1955 when it was sold to the town for a token amount. Efforts are now continuing to enhance trails and make access to the many acres of wilderness accommodating to visitors while still protecting it's "forever wild" nature. Volunteer help is sought.
