​On Thursday May 5th, a group of volunteers constructed short lengths of portable boardwalk to mitigate passage through wet areas on the north end of the Big Ravine’s East Rim Trail. The many hands of the following volunteers allowed the project to be completed in under two hours: Don Louis Bredle, Kurt Dicke, Mary Finn, Neil Howk, Paul & Brenda Kaese, Kate Kitchell, Tessa Levens, and Gene Lemmenes.
The group dug small channels to help drain standing water off of the trail. They also constructed a dozen sections of treated boardwalk using 8-foot lengths of 2" x 12" boards screwed to 6" x 6" blocks. The boardwalks were placed along the wettest sections of the trail and can easily be moved aside once the trail dries out. ​

The Big Ravine’s Pine Bluff and Hemlock Heights Trails are now open. Many thanks to everyone for staying off of the trail during the ice and mud season! Your cooperation has ensured that they are in great shape for everyone to enjoy. Please use caution on the few wet sections on Pine Bluff; please stay on the middle of the trail to avoid damaging the trail shoulders.

Between May 23rd and 31st Bayfield Area Trails volunteers will be working with Will Krift on rebuilding rock steps on the Gil Larsen Trail above the waterfall as well as fine-tuning the lower section of the School Trail built last fall. 
​See you out on the trails!
