Join us for plenty of treadwork, stonework, and boardwalk construction as we pick up where we left off in May! We’ll continue making progress toward building four miles of brand-new Trail. A 2023 opening is in our sights. Join us as we camp at tranquil Wood Lake in early autumn.

What We’re Doing

 We’ve got plenty of treadwork, stonework, and boardwalk construction planned. This is an excellent project to get well acquainted with the basics of trail building.
