Project Name: Marsh Creek
Dates: May 31- June 1
In the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, volunteers will help clear the Marsh Creek Trail. We’ll work on the first four miles towards the Middle Fork of the Salmon River where past fires in the area mean trees will continue to fall, blocking access. Brush and falling rocks also impact the trail each year. After work each day, we’ll return to camp near the trailhead.
This trail offers hikers, backpackers, fishermen, and hot spring enthusiasts a chance to explore the headwaters of the Wild and Scenic Middle Fork of the Salmon River. This section is also part of the Idaho Centennial Trail, which ITA is dedicated to continuing to help maintain each year.
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.
