Project Name: Lost Creek 

Project Dates: June 28-29 

Join ITA for a rewarding weekend of trail work near Wallace, Idaho, as we focus on maintaining the Lost Creek Trail. This scenic trail meanders alongside its namesake creek for miles before ascending to the stunning Bobtail Ridge. Our efforts will include clearing fallen logs and brushing through lush, dense forests, preserving the trail’s accessibility. Each afternoon, we’ll return to camp by Lost Creek, sharing camaraderie in this serene setting. Your hard work will help prevent the forest service from closing the trail, ensuring continued access to this breathtaking corner of North Idaho. 

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: $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.
