2010 Status and schedule of NWTA build days at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park

Submitted Tue, 02/16/2010 - 4:12pm by Joe Rykowski

Last night, the adopt-a-park agreement was presented to NWTA board of directors by Parks & Recreation ranger and trail manager Steve Kruger.   The 2010 agreement and associated project plan is being reviewed by board members currently with expectation that by early March a signed agreement will be returned to Oregon Parks & Recreation Department (OPRD).

Should be noted that this agreement is first of its kind under the new OPRD draft policy for engaging proponent organizations as trail construction partners.  In the past, they have only entered into adopt-a-park agreements with proponent groups for trail maintenance activities.  Understandably, it appeared that the NWTA board was excited to have this opportunity to enter into a level of collaboration with a land manager which showcased the mission to help build mountain biking trails.

John Joy and myself (Joe Rykowski) will remain as co-trail stewards for this project under 2010 agreement and will be reporting to Tom Slovak, the NWTA Trail Care Director for 2010.

Current Condition: Buxton (B-V trail) up Hares Canyon to Mtb Zone Loop and back

Submitted Mon, 01/25/2010 - 7:42pm by SlightlyBent

 

1/25/2010: Rode from Buxton trailhead (no cost for day use) on Banks-Vernonia Linear Trail to Stub Stewart State Park and up on Hares Canyon to Hilltop and then over to Mtb Zone access and the single track loop.  This is about 13 mile ride... roughly 1/3 paved, 1/3 shared-use (wide dirt trail), 1/3 single track (natural surface).

Riding Buxton up Hares, then mtb single track loop and back is an Intermediate level ride (about 13 miles).  If starting at Hilltop and riding just the mtb single track loop (back to Hilltop) would be a Beginner level ride (about 4 miles).
