Stewardship - Wynoochee Lake

Trail Scouting this beautiful trail in an old growth forest that needs attention. We'll prepare a report on trail conditions and clear a few down trees along the way.

  • Moderate
  • Easy
  • Mileage: 4.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 250 ft

Meet at Haggen Food and Pharmacy at 1313 Cooper Point Rd at 7:00 a.m. ready to leave as soon as possible. Cars will be parked on the far left-hand side of the large parking lot, over by the trees.  Drivers needed.  The road is paved to Wynoochee Lake at 150 miles round trip.  At the lake there's 5 miles of gravel road in fair condition.   Each passenger pays driver $18.00 for gas and vehicle use.  

Wynoochee Lakeshore trail is a wonderful, multi-use trail covering 16+ miles all the way around Lake Wynoochee.  We'll be scouting a portion of the trail depending on weather and problems found.  The trail gets little attention because of its location and lack of notoriety.  Trees of all sizes are down on the trail every year.  Early spring can be a wonderful time on the trail when wildflowers are popping up and new spring growth makes the forest come alive.

We will bring our shorter crosscut saws and clear a few trees as we hike and scout the trail.  This is usually a great opportunity to get in some saw practice. We never know for sure what are going to find on the trail.
