Project Name: Goose Creek
Project Dates: August 14-16
In the proposed Great Burn Wilderness, Goose Creek climbs up to Goose Lake and the divide that makes up the border of Idaho and Montana. This area is known for its great fishing, backcountry lakes, lush forest, and abundant wildlife! We'll car camp near the trailhead along Lake Creek and work up Goose Creek Trail.
Since there are meadows and an abundance of moisture along this trail, lots of brushing and alder removal is needed and well as tread and drainage work. It's 5.3 miles to the lake, and unlikely we'll be able to cover the whole trail over just a weekend project, but our work will make lasting progress. Come early or stay a day after to day hike or backpack into one of the lakes accessed from here!
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.
