Storm Damage Cleanup at Camp Brown

Recent high waters flooded Camp Brown Day Use Area, damaging trails and picnic sites. Come be part of the Greenway's response team's continuing effort to recover from the flood! We'll fix damaged trail structures, restore picnic sites and cleanup sections of damaged trail.

For safety, volunteers are required to wear:

• Long pants (we’ll be working with tools, so no shorts!)
• Sturdy, close-toed shoes (absolutely no sandals)
• Gloves

In addition, we recommend that participants bring:

• Warm layers, especially during the fall, winter, and spring
• Rain gear
• Big sack lunch
• Water for the day (3 liters minimum)
• Small daypack for lunch, extra layers, etc.

Camp Brown Day Use Area was constructed as a picnic area in the summer of 2019 through a collaborative effort between the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust and the United States Forest Service Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Located alongside the Wild & Scenic Middle Fork River, this picnic area offers scenic vistas and safe access to the river for visitors to utilize and explore. In addition to the picnic sites, there is an ADA-accessible interpretive loop trail circling the area. This trail was constructed with the help of excavators and other large machinery, and is now in need of some maintenance to restore accessibility of the trail. Volunteers will work with the Greenway Trust to maintain the trail while enjoying sweeping views of Mount Garfield and the Middle Fork River.
