Project Name:  Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail

Project Date: November 8th

Join Idaho Trails Association for a fall day of trail maintenance on the Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail in Sandpoint!

Volunteers will help keep this popular lakeside trail in good shape for hikers, runners, walkers, and other trail users. The project will focus on minor tread maintenance and brushing, including clearing encroaching vegetation and improving the trail surface where needed. The Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail follows the shoreline of Lake Pend Oreille and provides a scenic route through the area.

Participants will work alongside experienced trail crew leaders to address small areas of erosion or uneven tread, clear brush from the trail corridor, and complete other light maintenance tasks. No previous trail-building or maintenance experience is necessary—training, tools, and safety instruction will be provided.

Come spend a fall day outside, enjoy the changing season, and help keep this community trail in great shape for everyone who uses it. More information on AllTrails.

Project information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email. Failure to respond to your crew leader may result in being dropped from the project. See our FAQs, reach out to your crew leader, or contact ITA staff at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org if you have questions.
