Project Name: Navigation Trail
Project Dates: June 14-15
Join us for a backpacking project on Upper Priest Lake! Upper Priest Lake can only be accessed by boat or by foot and is surrounded by old growth forest, which means a potential for some big trees and fun crosscut saw work! This year we’ll continue up trail 6.7 miles to the Navigation Campground. This open site is right along the lake with awesome views of the Selkirks! We’ve been working along the Navigation Trail for several years now removing logs and brush, and we are excited to continue working north!
More info can be found on All Trails.

Refundable deposit: $25
Why do I need to pay a deposit? We’ve had trouble with people backing out of trips at the last minute which can really affect the productivity of the overall project. By charging a refundable fee, volunteers are less likely to cancel their reservation. Refunds will not be given to volunteers that do not show up or cancel their reservation. Exceptions will be made for medical reasons or unforeseen circumstances. Volunteers can choose to donate the deposit to ITA. All donations are tax-deductible and will go towards maintaining trails throughout Idaho. If you require assistance in paying for this fee, please contact us at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org and we will waive the cost.
If having the right gear to be safe and comfortable is a limiting factor, volunteers may apply for scholarships to purchase gear they need through the Splattski Outdoor Access Fund.
