Project Name: Blue Creek Bay 

Project Date: June 6 

Join us at Blue Creek Bay, a beautiful trail system on BLM land just outside Coeur d'Alene. This project will focus on brushing and tread work to keep the trails clear, safe, and enjoyable for hikers, runners, and mountain bikers. Along the way, you'll enjoy stunning views of Lake Coeur d'Alene and the surrounding forested hills. 

No prior trail experience is necessary — volunteers of all skill levels are welcome, and all tools and instruction will be provided. This is a great opportunity to get outside, give back to your local trails, and help maintain one of Coeur d'Alene's favorite outdoor recreation areas. 

National Trails Day, held on the first Saturday in June, is a day dedicated to advocacy and trail service through public events Volunteers from across the country unite to work on trail projects and give back to their local communities, committed to improving trails for others. Join us for one of ITA's many statewide projects to celebrate this day!
