Project Name:   Lead Draw Bridge Construction  

Project Dates:   June 17 

Last year ITA collaborated with the Caribou–Targhee National Forest and multiple partner groups to complete a major reroute on the Lead Draw Trail, constructing nearly two miles of new trail! This year we'll return to the Lead Draw area to help build a bridge near the trailhead.  With support and direction from Forest Service employees, volunteers will help move dirt and rock to build up the bases, stage the lumber, and hammer and drill it all into place! 

The Lead Draw area, located within the Mink Creek watershed, is a popular recreational destination that attracts a significant number of visitors throughout the year. The Lead Draw trailhead gives access to several trails, and users include hikers, motorcyclists, cyclists, e-bike riders, horseback riders, skiers, and snowshoers. 

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.
