Nelson Creek Trail Project Update

Posted May 27, 2008 9:56 AM

We've just begun work on the Nelson Creek Trail Project. The Nelson Creek Trail Project consists of rehabilitating a current system trail and connecting that trail to an old historic route. In the process of rerouting around steep grades or areas with access issuesthe proposed route varies from the the existing/historic route and terminates near the historic Nelson Point Hotel site. This route will serve as a link between the Lakes Basin Area and Quincy, and travels through some of the most remote, and beautiful terrain Plumas County has to offer. Currently the top 7 1/2 miles of the trail are open to use after our labors of last season. The lower 7 1/2 miles is in the Environmental Assessment phase and we plan on starting construction/rehabilitation this fall.

Fire at Nelson Creek

Submitted by ronnie (not verified) on Thu, 06/26/2008 - 9:43pm.

The 5000 acre fire at Nelson Creek (Cold Fire) has done some damage on the trail alignment we had flagged and mapped. Not to worry though, the upper 8 mile section which is complete and ready to hike or ride is untouched at this point. (closed due to fire danger though!) The middle section of trail is now clear of brush, thanks to the fire. Hopefully we'll be back out there before long to evaluate the project. Eventually we hope to have a 16+ mile trail here.
