Lake Creek Trail Work Party
Winthrop
Sept 27 - 28
Overview
Join fellow volunteers as we help the US Forest Service improve the Lake Creek Trail in the Pasayten Wilderness. Come on out for one day or both, there are plenty of camping options in the area. You might consider recreating one day and helping the other.
About the area
The Pasayten Wilderness covers over 530,000 acres, with 150 peaks over 7500’ elevation, 160 or more bodies of water, and just as many waterways. Open plateaus in the east and rugged ridges in the west await users itching to “get out there”. Deer, moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep and the largest population of lynx in the Lower 48 may be your companions. Fir, cedar, western hemlock in the west to fir, pine and larch in the east will provide you cover at times.
What to Expect
We will keep you safe, ensure you have a good time and facilitate getting some great work done. You don’t need to have any trail work experience, just be prepared to make a difference.
Project Description
The Lake Creek Trail could use some annual maintenance which may entail helping water get off the trail, cutting back brush encroaching on the corridor and removing rocks from the pathway. There might also be opportunities to work on getting the trail out of mucky and muddy areas.
