Fall Trail Love, 2022

10/26/2022

0 Comments

 
This year, COTA's Fall Trail Love hosted over 105 volunteers for multiple trail work projects. We want to thank everyone who came out to support trails with us! It was a huge success and we could not have done it without you all. 

COTA's maintains over 600 miles of singletrack, which as you can imagine, takes a lot of work to keep up with. As a mostly volunteer based organization, we need all the hands we can get to keep the trails riding smoothly. Big events like Trail Love are great for getting a ton of work done all at once, whilst bringing the community together.

Check out the full recap from Central Oregon Daily News here!

Trail Closures

5/24/2022

Starting 5/31, segments of Marvin's Garden, KGB & COD Trails will close Mon.-Fri. for public & operator safety during mowing operations. 
​
The following trail segments will be closed Monday through Friday:
  • Marvin’s Garden Trail from the intersection with KGB north to the intersection with Forest Service Road 4604-031.
  • KGB Trail from the intersection with Marvin’s Garden Trail east to the National Forest boundary.
  • COD Trail east from the intersection with Marvin’s Garden Trail to the junction with Cascades Lakes Highway.

See map below for details.

The work includes mowing and mastication of brush and small trees. The primary objectives are to help maintain and restore forest and ecosystem health while reducing hazardous fuels loading in the wildland-urban interface.

Removing excess vegetation increases firefighters’ opportunities for success in stopping a wildfire should it start in this area. This work will help to create a forest that is more resilient to fire, insect infestations and disease.
