The Town of Johnsburg and Barton Mines today announced plans for a collaborative effort to create new four-season public recreational trails across a portion of Barton-owned property, connecting the town-owned and New York State-operated North Creek Ski Bowl recreational center with the state-owned Siamese Ponds Wilderness. Barton will donate to the town a recreational easement across 200-acres of land that was part of the company’s original Gore Mountain mine property (1878-1982), approximately five miles south of its current Ruby Mountain mining operation.
