Project Name: Cataract Creek
Project Dates: August 15-16
Join us for a hands-on trail maintenance project on Cataract Creek, a remote trail in the Coeur d'Alene Ranger District near the Coeur d'Alene River. This trail has not been maintained in some time, and our work will focus on clearing fallen trees and brushing to reopen the corridor and restore safe passage for hikers. We'll be car camping near the trailhead outside the crew leader's cabin, just a short walk from where we'll be working each day. This is a great opportunity to spend time in a quiet, scenic area while making a meaningful impact on a trail that needs some care.
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 reservations. 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.
