Idaho Panhandle National Forest Sandpoint Ranger District Trail Reroute

The project reroutes an existing 1.1-mile user-created trail in seven locations where it follows disused skid road corridors at gradients of more than 15 percent.


Applicant: Pend Oreille Pedalers
Project Location: Idaho Panhandle National Forest, Idaho
Amount Awarded: $15,000.00

Improvements will resolve user safety issues and mitigate erosion and sedimentation of the City’s drinking water. Additional work includes rerouting of a quarter mile of user-created trail that runs directly down an old skid road, where several user-created wood jumps lacking design or safety standards will be removed. New trail will be built by hand to modern standards, out-sloped to assure sheet flow of rainwater, reduce sedimentation and erosion channels characteristic of existing trail, and separate uphill and downhill bicycle traffic, further improving user safety and experience. Finally, three user-created bridges built with scrap materials that cross seasonal streams will be removed and rebuilt to U.S. Forest Service (USFS) standards. Construction Timeline: 6/1/2024 - 9/31/2024 Partners: USFS Sandpoint, local trail builders, member volunteers, local mill operators (for bridge lumber).
