National Public Lands Day | Austin Ridge Riders - Walnut Creek Trail Maintenance
Pool Parking Lot
The trails at Walnut Creek Park need some TLC! The Austin Ridge Riders Mountain Bike Club will provide tools and guidance in sustainable trail stewardship.
Needed maintenance to the trail includes drainage and erosion improvements, trimming back of "face slappers" encroaching on the trail, and cleaning up litter along the trails.
There will be a special team for those not allergic to poison ivy. The rest of us will steer clear of that particular plant!
Remember to wear closed toed shoes, long pants, bring a water bottle, and dress appropriately for the weather. We will provide tools, gloves, and water, but if you have tools and gloves, please bring them too. We find that rakes, shovels, and wheelbarrows are often in short supply.
If you would like to bring a child, please carefully consider which project you choose. Children must be with a parent at all times.
In case of rain, projects will start one hour late. If rain persists, projects will begin at their original start time on Sunday.
We will meet up at 9am at the Pool Parking Lot. We will form teams to head out to different areas of the trail system.
