BLM issues proposed decision for Indian Creek Trails Realignment
CARSON CITY, Nev. — The Bureau of Land Management has issued a proposed Decision authorizing the Alpine Trails Association to reconstruct, realign, rehabilitate, and maintain approximately four miles of the existing eight-mile Indian Creek Trail System, and to construct a new non-motorized connector trail, on BLM-managed lands approximately four miles north of Markleeville, California, in Alpine County. The authorized work includes reconstruction and rehabilitation of the segment between Summit Lake and the Indian Creek Campground; restoration, reconstruction, or realignment of the segment between Indian Creek Dam and the Alpine County Airport area; construction of a new non-motorized connector trail from the Alpine County Airport area to the realigned East Fork Carson River trail segment; realignment and rehabilitation of the Curtz Lake Interpretive Loop; and rehabilitation of obsolete trail segments replaced by the approved realignments. Work will be performed entirely with hand tools following U.S. Forest Service standard trail specifications, and the trail system will remain open to hikers, equestrians, mountain bikers, and dogs.
