Kick off the trail work season with the Crew for our first Red Dirt Thursday of the season in Cuyuna! These every-other-Thursday work nights focus on maintaining and improving the trail system in partnership with the DNR.

A parking pass is not required at the Croft parking lot. However, if you plan to park at the Yawkey trailhead entrance at the end of the road, you will need a parking pass.

MORE INFO
We’ll start by signing everyone in and going over a few key items, including tick awareness, poison ivy, and a quick overview of how to properly cut drains. From there, we’ll break into groups with Trail Captains and head out to work.

WORK FOCUS
Cutting drains along Haul Road
Goal is to get drainage work completed up to the bench overlook past the Winze entrance.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

• Blue tape in trees

• Standing water

• If you see standing water and no blue tape, please flag it by tying blue tape around the nearest tree so we can mark it for future drainage work. Stay after for a little trail magic.
