Build the Bridge!
Only $5,000 to go!!
Help Fund the Bridge Across Pikes Creek in 2023
In our most ambitious project to date, we created an entirely new 1.3-mile trail connecting the Les Voigt State Fish Hatchery to the popular Jolly Loop Trail at Mt. Ashwabay (new name coming soon). More about the trail project. Our goal is to raise $55,000 by February 1st for a 55-foot-long bridge across Pikes Creek to complete our new fish hatchery to Mt. Ashwabay trail. The bridge will be located about 350 feet beyond the gate at the Hatchery’s Red Dam site on the existing angler access trail. |
