Tim Murphy, Burton Section Supervisor, and crew along with volunteers from the Village of Hiram have moved a portion of the BT so that it now passes through the southern portion of the Village of Hiram. It utilizes a portion of the 4 mi long Hiram Village Loop Trail. The length of the BT increased by 0.8 mi for a new total of 61.0 mi. There is a gain of 0.3 mi in off-road trail. In addition, a camping location for through hikers is available near the pavilion in the Hiram Village Park.
