Your investment will provide an outstanding legacy of outdoor recreation and enjoyment for area residents, our visitors, and future generations in northern Bayfield County. |

Why is our work so important?

Watch this short video to see one of our showcase trails. This hike on Bayfield's Big Ravine Trail takes you from the Meyers Olson trail head along the East Rim, down Pine Bluff, and on to the Gil Larson trail.
The views are stunning! Especially descending the Pine Bluff section of the trail. Pine Bluff was added to the system in 2020 thanks to donations and generous volunteers. With your generous support, we can continue to build and improve hiking trails on the Bayfield Peninsula. |

2024 AccomplishmentsIn 2024 the Bayfield Area Trails volunteer workforce of more than 60 individuals logged over 3300 hours planning and implementing projects in 16 trail locations between early May and mid-November.
An extreme rain event and flooding overnight on June 19th required us to quickly assess trail conditions and implement repairs and improvements toward making trails more durable under high runoff conditions. To be able to address all of these needs and enable volunteers to plan, we established a schedule with standard workdays twice per month. This is just a taste of what we accomplished.
