The update applies to all versions of the BTA maps - printed, digital, or apps. There is no change in miles.

There are two corrections in this Bedford Section map update at Point 9. The first one corrects the distance of a small parking area from Pt. 9 and the second corrects the description for leaving the All Purpose Trail (APT), crossing Hawthorn Pkwy, and following the footpath. The revised description for Point 9 is as follows:

9. Hawthorn Parkway at Broadway Ave

BT follows APT 500’ to pass a small parking area on N side of Hawthorn Pkwy. In another 175’, BT crosses to S side of Hawthorn Pkwy and moves up a small hill to reach a trail sign post. Continue a short distance to just past the tree line and turn E. Continue E into the woods and follow footpath sometimes on one, sometimes on the other side of, but always more or less parallel to Hawthorn Pkwy.

BT briefly joins APT beneath I-271/I-480 bridge and then enters a wooded area between Tinkers Creek and parkway. Beaver, blue herons, and nesting ducks and geese are common here. BT rejoins APT near a small Black Walnut tree about 250’ W of Richmond Rd and continues E to Richmond Rd. Here, BT turns N across Tinkers Creek and leaves Reservation.

In about 1000’, BT turns E into South Chagrin Reservation (CMP). In this reservation, BT generally follows bridle paths. After crossing a stream on a small bridge near Shadow Lake, BT takes footpath that skirts E and then N edge of lake.
