The Jug End Barn ski resort operated under various owners from 1938 until its permanent closure in 1983. The state took control of the property in 1994, enacting a program of environmental remediation to return the property to a suitable condition for use by the public.[4]
The Jug End Loop Trail passes through 2 miles (3.2 km) of open fields, northern hardwood and eastern hemlock woodlands. A portion of the Appalachian Trail also crosses the property.[5]
