Help build a Bridge!

by friendsofyellowcreek@gmail.comEvents March 26, 2015Comments are Disabled

The annual Yellow Creek Trail Day is coming up! We’re especially asking for you assistance on this one as we’ll need help carrying in supplies for a bridge. Doug Crytzer of American Adventure Sports is constructing this bridge at a stream crossing on the south shore. This is the twenty foot span that you currently have to ride through. Doug began work on the bridge last fall, but there is still more to be done. He has asked that we bring cordless drills to help with that project. He has also requested we bring shovels and picks/mattocks. Depending on the number of people we have, we’ll also spread out for general maintenance tasks to get the trails tip-top for this riding season.

We’ll meet through the Day Use Entrance in the first parking area on the right at 10:00 a.m. From there, we’ll move closer to the bridge location to aid in carrying the materials.

Repairs at the Sailing Base

As part of the FOYC sponsored project to renew the sailing base on the north shore, the Friends teamed up with volunteers from the IUP Sailing Club and DCNR on this demolition and rebuild activity. In late Fall, a dozen IUP students gathered to pull the roof off the boat rack on the sailing base. The Friends assisted by purchasing materials for the replacement. In spring, DCNR employees and volunteers will put the new roof in place. The roof officially covers sailboat and canoe racks for the community base. But there will be room under the shelter to enjoy a picnic or take a break from the summer sun or rain showers, once the new roof is on.

Early fall, clearing brush to access the “beach.”
