Bend Sustainability Fund Grant Awarded to COTA Cascade View Trail Construction

Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA) has been awarded a generous grant from the Bend Sustainability Fund to assist us with building the Stinger Trail in the Cascade View trail system near Cline Buttes and Eagle Crest Resort. 

Our Statement of Success: A new trail with beautiful mountain views in a less crowded part of Central Oregon that primarily appeals to mountain bikers but is also open to people on foot and draws locals and visitors to get fit, happy, connect with nature, and experience the beauty of Central Oregon.

We're thrilled to be a BSF grant recipient. The BSF will help COTA complete a challenging trail and will provide much-needed community financial support to many deserving recreation projects now and for years to come. And a huge thank you to the more than 400 people that voted for COTA's project in the Community Ballot - you helped make this project happen!

- Emmy Andrews, COTA Executive Director
