The Idaho Parks and Recreation Trail Rangers cleared more than 1,000 downed trees from more than 36 miles of the Divide-Twin Creek Trail in 2020.
Twin Creek - Divide Trail
This National Recreation Trail consists of two distinct trails that can be accessed from several locations. The Salmon-Challis Trails Group focused on the lower Twin Creeks portion in 2016. In July of 2019 Youth Employment Program under a grant from Idaho Parks and Recreation cleared and improve all of the Divide Trail. In 2020, the Idaho Parks and Recreation Trail Rangers put forth a herculean effort, clearing more than 1,000 logs that fell in the winter of 2020. Let’s do what we can to keep that great work preserved!
The map below highlights the trail in two segments- Twin Creek #108 and Divide Trail (Twin Creek) #106
For those people who love our Salmon Challis Trails and want to contribute in a different way, your donation can help us by:
· Providing match. The Salmon Challis Trails Group has been working with Lemhi County in applying for Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grants and we must cover 20% of the cost. By making a tax deductible donation you, the trail user, ensure these projects move forward.
· Supporting volunteers. YEP maintains a trailer with tools for volunteers. We also provide items like T-shirts, hats, water bottles, and food at our volunteer workdays.
· Training. Donations will help us provide first aid, CPR, saw training and more to ensure the safety and well-being of our trail stewards.
