Burt’s Trail construction
Help us build a new trail at Horse Lake Reserve! This roughly 1.5 mile trail will be built entirely by hand, and will access new terrain and new views at the Reserve as it connects the Burt’s barn to the lower end of the Glacier View Trail. This is arduous but rewarding work: volunteers will use handtools to construct trail tread. Bring a water bottle, wear sturdy shoes, and dress appropriately for the weather. CDLT will supply all necessary tools and equipment. If you’re interested in joining, please RSVP online or contact Hanne: hanne@cdlandtrust.org, 667-9708.
From Wenatchee Avenue, head uphill (west) on Horse Lake Road. Follow the road 3/4 of a mile past residential neighborhoods. At this point the road will turn to dirt. After 3 miles, the trailhead will be on the right.
