Project Name: Blacktail Lake 

Project Dates: August 4 

This is ITA’s annual trail work project with the Sandpoint Monday Hikers group. Anyone is welcome to join for a day of trail work and hiking! We’ll clear logs and brush the Blacktail Lake Trail for several hours and then turn everyone loose to finish their hike to the lake and beyond.  

Later in the season, we’ll continue our work towards Moose Mountain. ITA has been working to help keep this loop in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest clear and enjoyable for hikers. Blacktail Lake makes a great day hike, with the option to loop around past Moose Mountain and Moose Lake.
