Cancelled -Silver Falls - New Trail Build - April 4-5, 2020

This event has been cancelled - As part of the clubs sponsorship of Silver Falls State Park we provide trail maintenance at Silver Falls.  On April 4th and 5th we will have a chance to take part in the early work on a new trail at Silver Falls State Park.  This new trail will be completed in several phases over the next couple years.  The first phase will lead to a new viewpoint of the North Falls.  (See Orange trail section in the map below.)  

This will be a fun and rare chance to be involved in the development of a new park trail.  Everyone welcome.  Participate one or both days.




We will be meeting at the North Falls Day Use Area near the N. Falls Lodge (see map) at 9 am each day, talk about the plan, hand out tools and hike to the area we will be working on. Come dressed with gloves, water, lunch/snack, sturdy footwear and clothes appropriate for the weather. We will go rain or shine. We will be done about 3 PM each day. 

Carpooling From Salem? Meet at the State Motor Pool on Airport Road in Salem at 8 am. (1100 Airport Rd. between State and Mission St.) Please RSVP to trip leader Mike Niemeyer at mikessummits@gmail.com so we can coordinate carpooling and make sure we have enough tools.
