Project Name: Fish Lake
Dates: August 3- 9
In partnership with the Great Burn Conservation Alliance (GBCA), volunteers will gather for a week of trail work in the Proposed Great Burn Wilderness. This section of trail is also part of the Idaho Centennial Trail, and ITA is committed to maintaining sections of this 1000-mile trail each year.
We’ll have pack support to bring in food and gear for the week to our base camp at Fish Lake, nestled right under the divide between Idaho and Montana. We’ll work right from camp on the Stateline Trail that runs along the border. From here the trail climbs up the ridge and Admiral Peak (7254’) and dips into lake basins as it travels between lush forest and open ridge line. Over the week we’ll clear logs and cut back brush, working in either direction from camp. If time and work allows, Bruin Hill is also accessed right out of Fish Lake and in need of log out.
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.

Refundable deposit: $50
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.
