2009-Shop Creek Trail Construction at Cherry Creek State Park - 9/19/2009

Start Date-End Date: 09/19/2009-09/19/2009 Land Manager Office: Land Manager Contact: Funding Partner: Programmatic Partner: Summary: Description: A flood during June forced us to move our Shop Creek project to a different trail at Cherry Creek State Park. We've been able to get a group of volunteers who want to help us finish this popular trail on Saturday, September 19. We need several crew leaders who can join us on to lead that group in the construction of this crusher fine trail through the park's wetland. Shop Creek Trail has suffered significant damage from frequent floods along Cherry Creek. Hikers trying to avoid damaged section of trail have created multiple trail corridors, braided walkways and wide paths. To alleviate the damage and re-create a sustainable trail, volunteers will restore eroded areas with new soil, and repair and resurface sections of the trail with finely crushed rock.
