This is going to be a big project on the West Watershed Trail to continue improving the trail tread's drainage and erosion problems. The Watershed Trails are many park visitors' favorite area to hike and explore, as well as where many of the Environmental Education Center's educational programs take place. Improving the trail's drainage and tread will ensure better access and enjoyment for visitors of Kings Gap.
We will be installing limestone, thick honeycomb mat, geomat fabric, sandstone and more water bars at 7 locations that have been identified as problem areas. We will not get all these locations done in one day, but we are hoping to finish at least 3 spots.
Volunteers will meet at Kings Gap Hollow Use Area at 9 am. Please wear sturdy shoes/boots, bring water and dress for the weather. Kings Gap EEC will provide high visibility vests, work gloves, extra water bottles and Gatorade.
