Coldwater Lake Campout and Trail Work Party – 6/5-7

June 5 @ 10:00 am June 7 @ 2:00 pm

Join NWTA for a work party and optional campout at Coldwater Lake in the Mt. St. Helens National Monument.

Due to our strong partnership with the US Forest Service we are permitted to camp overnight (primitive) from June 5th – June 7th near the shores of Coldwater Lake. This rare opportunity is only available during this event.

Please note that the space for campers is limited. There is also no water or dump facilites at the camp site. Restrooms will be available for camper’s use just a short walk from camp.

All ages and skill levels are welcome.

* Work clothes: Light long sleeve shirt, Long Pants (no shorts), Boots, Gloves, Eye Protection & Gloves

* Jacket (be prepared)

* Hard hat or bike helmet (mandatory)

* Water

* Snacks

* Lunch

Please bring your favorite tread tool if you have one (rakes, McLeod, rouge hoe, loppers), otherwise a tool will be provided for you.

Food will not be provided for Friday night campers

After the work party, NWTA will host an early dinner for all the volunteers.

PET (DOG) OWNERS: If you bring your pet, know that you cannot leave them unattended at the campsite. Due to the steep hillside & narrow terrain of the trail, we DO NOT recommend that they join you while working on the trail.
