“The Sitka Trail Works Board of Directors, staff and membership is dedicated to working efficiently and supportively with our partners to create, maintain and promote a beautiful, diversified and accessible trail system; as our gift to future generations. These trails will provide a wide range of opportunities for physical activity, economic development, cultural enrichment and spiritual renewal.”
Current Trail Conditions as of January 12
Heart Lake Trail from Blue Lake Road to the Rock Ford has been repaired and top tread will be applied in Spring of 2012. Cross Trail is open and repairs have been completed. Beaver Lake Trail segment, above the lake between where the trail comes in from Herring Cove and the lake rock stepping stones, has experienced some severe blow down and is impassable. US FS asks hikers to get used to doubling back on the trail and please do not attempt to cross the blow down area. This segment of the trail is closed. Indian River Trail blow down was cleared by USFS crew and one pesky tree toppled across the trail the day after. The tree does not block the trail and is easy enough to pass under. Mosquito Cove Trail blow down was cleared by STW and State Parks has reopened the trail but asks hikers to use caution, trail is still rough in spots and will remain that way until spring work parties can address the problems. Please report trails in need of attention to 747-7244.

Three really awesome trail crew from the National Park Service finished work on the Riverview Trail and headed home just before Thanksgiving. Thank you to all volunteers who helped with the project and especially to Carin Farley NPS enforcement officer, for organizing the project and finding funding. GOOD JOB!
