The Ingalls Creek Trail is a challenging hike with a total out-and-back distance of 28.9 miles.
Our LTF crew spent 3 nights and 4 days on the trail performing maintenance.
The first 4 miles of the trail were fairly clear with only small sections that were found to be overgrown and required brushing. Some areas of the trail required a good amount of tread work to rebuild the trail, roughly 30 cumulative yards. Other areas were slightly flooded and muddy so we installed some new drainage paths for the various small streams to pass over the trail without further damage. Roughly 25 feet of new drains were installed.
After our 4 days on the trail we were able to complete a good amount of tread work and brushing work to make the trail cleaner and more passable. We will be returning to this trail for further maintenance work in June.
The trail was in overall good condition and the bugs were at a minimum - a great hike for the summer season!
