Cripple Creek Headwaters

Thanks to generous community support, we conserved the 90-acre “Graceland” parcel in 2024, which is adjacent to the Isberg Recreation Area. Now we have the rare opportunity to expand on that success. We’ve reached an agreement to purchase the adjacent Dinkins parcel, roughly 210 acres of wetlands and forested uplands that connect directly to Graceland and Isberg. Together, these lands form the Cripple Creek Headwaters and would nearly double the size of protected green space in this part of the borough.

These woods and wetlands aren’t just vital wildlife habitat, they’re also beloved by our community. Several trails wind through this area, used for decades by skiers, dog walkers, and snowmachiners alike. But these trails have always crossed private land, and each change in ownership risks the trails being gated off or subdivided for residential development.

Your gift today helps protect those trails and the landscape they traverse forever.
