Volunteer Opportunity - Musser Gap Trail Work
UPDATE: More work dates added
Friends of Rothrock and DCNR need your help to finish a new trail that is being built at Musser Gap. This short trail is being built by machine but volunteers are needed to finish grooming the newly built trail including cutting back roots, leveling trail tread, and pulling back duff (leaves, etc.).
DCNR employees will provide instruction and guidance. Tools will be provided however, we recommend bringing your own drinks, food, bug spray, and gloves.
We can utilize up to three volunteers at a time so please register below, indicating availability, for scheduling and insurance purposes. Questions may be directed to our trail committee leader, Jay Ziegler.
When: Monday, July 26 thru Thursday, July 29 AND Monday, August 2 thru Thursday, August 5
Where: Musser Gap trailhead
Directions: Hike up the gravel road from the Musser Gap trailhead, cross the foot bridge, and turn left up Musser Gap trail until you see the new trail on the left. Alternatively, the powerline right-of-way road from Route 26 near the Pine Grove Mills runaway truck ramp is accessible to higher clearance vehicles. The gate is unlocked but be sure to close it behind you then proceed to Musser Gap trail (look for the green DCNR F-350 with front license plate E-31) and hike down the hill until you see the new trail on your right. Please park to the side, do not block the right-of-way!
