Signage Day on Surveyor's Ridge

Join us for a one-day ride/work event on Saturday, September 14 as we place reassurance badges on the iconic Surveyor’s Ridge Trail.


In 2023, thanks to a grant from the Oregon Trails Coalition, the Oregon Timber Trail Alliance (OTTA) embarked on a project to enhance signage along the Oregon Timber Trail. This initiative will improve navigation. If you've tackled the trail before, you know how tricky navigation can be. The OTTA is committed to making the trail more accessible to riders of all skill levels. Better signage will significantly enhance the Oregon Timber Trail experience. Our approach is guided by the principle of installing signs judiciously. Our goal is to strike a balance between providing necessary guidance and preserving the trail's natural beauty.

WHAT’S INVOLVED - We’ll be riding the trail by bike, installing reassurance badges, and doing minor trail maintenance as we go. It's hands-on, meaningful work that directly enhances the Oregon Timber Trail for future adventurers. The ride will be 14 miles round trip, with options to do less

WHERE? We’ll meet at the 44 Trails Hub Trailhead (where Super Connector trail crosses Road 17) at 9:00 am

YOU SHOULD BRING - Bring a pack, with water, snacks, mosquito repellant, and sunscreen. We’ll provide the necessary tools.

WEATHER - The forecast calls for 65 degrees and sunny. Bring extra warm layers and outerwear just in case. Mornings can start cool and warm up as the day goes on.

SCHEDULE -We’ll meet at the 44 Trails Hub Trailhead (where Super Connector crosses Road 17) at 9 am. We’ll ride out and back, placing reassurance badges, lopping, and doing some light trimming with hand saws. The ride will be 14 miles round trip, with options to do less

Saturday, September 14 - Trail Ride: 9 am - 4 pm
