This map update addresses a trail change to the BT in Headlands Beach State Park between Points 33 and 34 in the Bedford Section.

Recent work at the park to restore a wetland resulted in taking the BT off-road for this entire Point. The actual trail reroute only changes the length of this point 100ft which is minimal. The new description for Point 33 is as follows:

CW 65.2 N | CCW 0.8 S | Point 33 | Shipman Pond Parking Area (P) at Headlands Rd.

Cross Headlands Rd to enter Headlands Beach State Park (P, PA, PS, PT, WS, WC) on BT. In 60ft, turn right (NE) along tree line and ascend to top of hill. In 200ft at trail switchback, descend heading NW and gradually turn left (W). After 400ft, follow BT another 510ft as it curves around the restored wetland, first turning NW, then N, and finally NE. In 0.62mi, reach the Northern Terminus of the BT.
