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!

These segments will be closed from 10pm Sunday to 3pm Friday. View map and full document below for details! PLEASE respect these trails closures! The faster the operation can be completed, the faster we can get back out on these amazing trails!

The following trail segments will be closed Monday through Friday:
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. The BLM, with assistance from Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA), is working to assess the user experience at Horse Ridge and consider adding the trails to its inventory. We intend to receive feedback from all user groups, including but not limited to, hikers, horseback riders, mountain bikers, and runners. Please take a moment of your time to fill out this survey, and help with this important process.
COTA is a 100% donation based non-profit that plans, builds, and maintains 500 miles of singlettrack in Central Oregon. As trail work season kicks off, we want to hear from riders like you! Please take a second to fill out our first annual rider survey.
We'd appreciate feedback from the entire mountain biking community so we can get a full sense of what is expected of our work. Thank you to all volunteers, members, and trail lovers who make this possible. |
