Project Name: Selway River Trail South
Project Dates: June 22-28
Come enjoy a front country adventure at the historic Magruder Ranger Station located along the Selway River between the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. We’ll car camp at the cabin which served as a district headquarters on the old Selway National Forest. We’ll work on the Selway River Trail south from camp, logging out and brushing as far as time and project work allows. The section we’re working on from the cabin is popular with day hikers exploring the Magruder Corridor and an important connecting trail for hunters and outfitters.
We’re able to use the cabin facilities available for trail crews, but not the cabin available to rent. We’ll have access to some luxuries (pit toilet, water, primitive kitchen) but please still bring your tent and camping gear!

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.
