Trailbuilding this Saturday, May 18th. NOTE THE TIME CHANGE

We've made good progress this winter on Wudchuk Run and are in need of some help to finish it up.

Wudchuk Run Trail Work Day
May 18
9a-noon
In the area we'll be working the corridor has already been cleared, so we will be doing benchcut and rock work.  If you haven't done this type of work before, come anyway.  It will be a great opportunity to learn.

Meeting Place:
Hogan/swimming pool at Camp Lake of the Woods on top of the hill. From the main Swope trailhead, drive up Oakwood Drive, take a left at the "Y" and continue on about 300 yards. See map on the right hand side of the page for directions to the Swope Park trails. We will then drive to our hike in point.

Tools:
The usual trail tools...Rakes, McLeods, Rock bars, Pulaskis, Rogue Hoes, Handsaws, etc. If you don't have tools, come anyway...we should have plenty.

Recommended Items:
Long pants
Boots/Shoes with protection
Work Gloves
Safety Glasses
Bug Spray
Food and beverages

Trail Tasting Afterwards:
If the trails are rideable and/or hikeable, we'll do a trail tasting after the workday.

Trail Conditions

We've recently had a couple questions about the new trail open/closed sign at the trail head as well as questions about our postings on this page about current trail conditions.

1. The trails are open or closed based on the discretion of the trail managers and/or the parks department.  These folks are well educated on when the trails should be open or closed.  Please respect the trails.

2. We will no longer be updating this website with open or closed notices.  You'll see at the top of the page a "Current Trail Conditions" link.  This link will take you to the Earthrider's website which shows the current status of all the local trails.
