Stewardship - Green Mountain: Gold Creek Trail

Trip

Stewardship - Green Mountain: Gold Creek Trail

Work party at Green Mountain State Forest to renovate/repair an older trail.

  • Easy/Moderate
  • Easy
  • Mileage: 5.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,000 ft

We will be joining a few other local trail user groups (trail runners and hikers) for this project. We will be restoring an older, lesser used section of trail. It has become overgrown and muddy.  The focus of this project will be brushing, clearing drains and managing water on the trail, and hardening some sections of trail by adding gravel.  I will have some extra shovels and macleods, but if you have clippers/pruners, those would be helpful to bring!

We will meet at Gold Creek Trailhead at 9am. We'll depart the trailhead no later than 9:15am and we will need to carry our tools to the work site.  We will be working approximately 1-1.5mi from the trailhead.  Please don't forget to bring your discover pass, which is required to park at this trailhead.
