2014 Events 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.
