Project Name: Marie Creek
Project Dates: September 19-20
Spend a weekend helping maintain Marie Creek Trail, a scenic route that winds through lush forests and mountainous terrain, following Marie Creek deep into the Idaho backcountry. This project will focus on clearing fallen trees and improving trail tread to keep the trail safe, accessible, and enjoyable for hikers, campers, and horseback riders. We are partnering with Panhandle Backcountry Horsemen to make this project happen.
This beautiful area offers volunteers the chance to immerse themselves in nature, enjoy diverse plant life, and possibly spot local wildlife while working on the trail. This project is a great opportunity to gain hands-on trail maintenance experience, work as part of a team, and make a lasting impact on an important local trail. Whether you're new to trail stewardship or an experienced volunteer, your efforts will help ensure Marie Creek Trail remains a welcoming and well-maintained route for all who visit.
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.
