Project Description
Listen for the haunting call of the loons as you traipse along this easy trail beside a pair of quiet lakes in the Okanogan Highlands, nestled in a narrow canyon between Mount Bonaparte and Buckhorn Mountain.
On Saturday, the PNTA will cohost a Volunteer Work Party with our parters at the Okanogan Highlands Alliance, with a mission to restore the Beth-Beaver Lakes Trail 316.
The Beaver Lake portion of the trail is in need of some TLC— overdue for a haircut (read: bushy), some litter removal, and touch ups on the tread where it’s narrow and eroded.
Volunteers with any level of experience will find something they can lend a hand with, whether it’s using loppers and handsaws to prune back saplings and branches, swamping cut materials off the trail, or touching up the tread with a hand tool.
No trail crew experience necessary: the PNTA provides tools, personal protective equipment, and training. Just bring yourself, your daypack, and a thirst for a rewarding day on the trail!
