Camp Brown Day Use Area was constructed as a picnic area in the summer of 2019 through a collaborative effort between the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust and the United States Forest Service Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Located alongside the Wild & Scenic Middle Fork River, this picnic area offers scenic vistas and safe access to the river for visitors to utilize and explore. In addition to the picnic sites, there is an ADA-accessible interpretive loop trail circling the area. This trail was constructed with the help of excavators and other large machinery and is now in need of some restoration work to promote revegetation of native plant species. Volunteers will work with the Greenway Trust to restore the trail-side while enjoying sweeping views of Mount Garfield and the Middle Fork River. 

We will start this full day of stewardship promptly at 9 am.  Please arrive 15 minutes early.  We will take a break for lunch and will end by 3 pm.
