This Bike Trail is always muddy. There's a natural spring that dumps right into the trail and even with the small water bars there were put in place by the original trail builder, this trail would never dry. Before the trails opened for the season, Hailey and I went out and and dug the existing water bars deeper, and extended them down the hill. In addition, we dug a water bar along the full length of the trail on either side and used the excavated dirt to raise the height the height of the trail which helps keep the riding surface dry.

We collected and hauled in rocks from a nearbye stream and build a rock bridge over the water bar. To prevent the rocks from moving, we used crushed rock to give it a firm bed and then cut up small a tree to use as stakes. The stakes were hammered into the ground to help anchor the rocks in place. Afterwords we placed crush rock mixed and covered that with dirt on the primary riding surface, in the areas that would see the most amount of mud.
