There will be a Trail building project the weekend of June 28-30 2019. The project will reroute a portion of the Milk Lake Trail out of a sensitive riparian area. Milk Lake Trail is a popular 4X4 trail off of Hwy 410 on Chinook Pass. The project is a cooperative effort by the Pacific Northwest 4 Wheel Drive Association and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The preliminary planning and preparation for the project has been done by Ron Rutherford and several members of the Jeeping Nomads.
The USFS Chinook Pass Work Center has been secured at no cost from the Naches Ranger District as a project staging and camp area for the weekend.
