May,  US Forest Service begins planning for trails and recreation areas

Upgrades to Treadwell Ditch Trail, West Glacier Trail, and Lena  Beach:  The Forest Service is planning improvements to three recreation areas: Treadwell Ditch, West Glacier Trailhead, and Lena Beach.   

The Forest Service proposes to improve the Treadwell Ditch Trail between Blue Berry Hills Subdivision north to the Bonnie Brae Subdivision by building stream crossing structures such as bridges, culverts, and shallow water fords at 38 crossings; constructing a total of 0.4 miles of trail that will replace areas of muddy or failed trail; and rerouting the trail to avoid difficult or numerous stream crossings.  

At West Glacier Trailhead, the Forest Service proposes to add parking, install a gate, build a 0.4 mile non-motorized trail parallel to the road to separate traffic, construct a spur trail to the lake, install a six-hole vault outhouse to serve heavy summer use, and install signs.

At Lena Beach, the Forest Service proposes paving the road through the recreation area, changing the road to a one-way road, adding parking, and adding gates; reconstructing five shelters, replacing the existing trails to shelters with accessible trails, replacing outhouses, and adding other recreation amenities.
