Duluth to Two Harbors Construction
Linking people with nature by footpath along Lake Superior's North Shore.
SHTA Needs Volunteers for Two Harbors to Duluth Construction!
We’re continuing trail construction this year on the last major gap of the Superior Hiking Trail between Two Harbors and Duluth. Larry Sampson will be the Trail Construction Supervisor for a 5.1-mile section of trail mostly in maple forest between Fox Farm Road/East Trailhead and Fox Farm Road/West Trailhead. This route will include an A-frame bridge over the Sucker River and a new campsite.
SHTA will again be hosting campout work weekends based at Korkki Ski Area. You can also work with Larry and other volunteers during the week. All work days begin at 9:00 and generally go to 3:00 or 4:00.
Don’t feel you have to be highly skilled to volunteer. Training will be provided. Wear long-sleeves, long pants, and sturdy boots. Bring beverages, your lunch, mosquito repellant and gloves if you have them. Tools will be provided.
Weekdays currently scheduled are:
May 11, 12, 13, 14
May 25, 26, 27, 28
Larry will also be scheduling additional weekday times. Contact the SHTA office to be put on an email contact list for these dates and meeting places. Larry is also working on a meeting place to carpool from Duluth.
Weekend campout dates at Korkki Nordic (work one or both days):
May 22 and 23
June 19th and 20
July 10 and 11
August 14 and 15
September 25 and 26]
We are also looking for two people for each campout to help with meals. This isn’t too much work and is actually a lot of fun!
You need to sign up in advance for each work weekend so we’ll know how many to plan for. Please call the SHTA office at 218-834-2700 or email us at volunteer@shta.org to sign up by the Thursday before the weekend. Thanks!
You can camp Friday night, Saturday night, or both nights. Breakfasts and Saturday supper will be provided. When you email or call, we’ll ask you what you are signing up for.
