Statement of Requirement

Background The 2024 Limepoint Fire affected nearly the entirety of the 12.2 mile long trail system accessed from the Kinney Creek, Allsion Creek, and Eckels Creek Trailheads along Hells Canyon Reservoir on Payette National Forest.

Description of Project Work must be performed to restore sustainable trail tread to portions of the trail where this has been affected by loss of anchoring vegetation and post fire run-off, as well as to make the trail system more resistant to future runoff due to long-term fire effects. As such, the overall goal is to restore a full trail bench (see Plans) to the entirety of the trail system or, as much as possible with the funding available, as well as adding drainage features where necessary to withstand erosion. Install signs at junctions of 222 and 221, 514 and 223, 223 and 225; Install Kinney Creek Trailhead sign the beginning of the 221 and Hells Canyon Road junction.

All are located on the Council Ranger District of Payette National Forest. This is located approximately 54 road miles north of Cambridge, ID, accessed via State Hwy 71 to Hells Canyon Road.
