Work notes: 

  • A bridge between Turtle (7) and Gandolf’s (8) was uprooted, resulting in a partial closure of the loop trail. Washington County Parks has received approval from the Bureau of Land Reclamation for a 1/2 mile – 1 mile re-route to restore access to the trail. We are re-building that section of trail. It will likely include installation of a short bridge, one culvert, probably 3+ rock sections, 3+ climbing turns, and potentially more retaining walls. 
  • Equipment we will be using will include, but not be limited to: rakes, McLeods, Pulaskis, hoes, various shovels, wheelbarrows, buckets, and others. Tools will be provided; however, if you’d like to bring additional tools, you are welcome and encouraged to do so. 
  • Equipment needed: helmet (cycling helmets are OK), long pants, good work gloves; we can help ensure you have a helmet, if needed. Long sleeve shirts are recommended. If conditions are wet, rain gear and sturdy boots are recommended. 

Notes: 

  • No drinks, snacks, or swag provided for this work party; others throughout the work season will have them. For this work party, please bring your own drinks and food. 
  • Parking passes will be provided; no parking fee is required.
  • Volunteer waivers will be available at the work site. They will need to be signed prior to beginning work. 
  • NWTA volunteer hours will be logged for you.
  • Volunteers under age 18 will need a parent or supervising adult with them.
  • The nearest restrooms are at: Elks Creek (1), Sain Creek Recreation Area (13), and C-Ramp Recreation area (14). 
  • The nearest market is 7-Star Convenience Store (formerly Lake Stop Grocery) on Old 47, shortly before the park entrance.
  • If you need documents signed proving work completed, we will have staff available to sign them.
  • You’re welcome and encouraged to ride the trail after the work party!
