Project Name: English Point 

Project Date: May 17 

The English Point National Recreation Trail is a lower-elevation trail system that includes easy loops through forest terrain on the west side of Hayden Lake. This is a great opportunity to come out early in the hiking season and learn about or polish up your trail maintenance skills. This popular area is heavily used by day hikers, dog walkers, and families, and has been an annual ITA project for many years. This 6-mile trail system always needs tread work, help cleaning water bars, bridge clearing, and brush removal.  

More info can be found at All Trails for the two loops: Red and Yellow. 

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.
