The Idaho Trails Association will host its first North Idaho trail work party of the season May 30.

The association is seeking volunteers to help do maintenance work on the English Point Trail No. 80 in the Idaho Panhandle Forest.

Spring cleaning chores that need to be done include cleaning out water bars, cutting back brush and cleaning mud off bridges.

The English Point trail system includes easy loops through forest terrain on the west side of Hayden Lake. The Idaho Trails Association will be doing the maintenance work to help make this popular trail more enjoyable for the hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders who come here.

Volunteers will use hand tools provided by the association to do light work. Everyone should bring work gloves, sturdy shoes, lunch and water. Volunteers are asked to meet at 8 a.m. at the trailhead on English Point Road just off East Lancaster Road.

Volunteers do not need to sign up ahead of time. For additional information prior to the work party, email the leader at [email protected] or call (208) 263-6854.
