Tuesday, October 17 and 24, 8:30 AM to 4 PM

Overview

Project description

The Maple Ridge Trail is one of the most popular trails in this state park. It meanders for about a mile through forested areas. It is in need of maintenance to address a 2016 slide, as well as drainage in the lower sections of the trail. These two Tuesday work parties are the first of others that will be planned during the fall and winter season.

What to expect

You should expect to work on a well-developed trail, using grubbing and brushing tools to improve tread and drainage.
