Trail Work Day – Brushing upper Dog River to Zig Zag

We are kicking off the trail work season this Sunday, June 8, 2025

We will be working on the first mile of Dog River, starting from the top (between the south Surveyor’s Ridge trailhead parking and the ZigZag trail). If, by some miracle, there is moisture by then, we’ll also do some tread repair.

Hard hats (bike helmets ok), long pants, work gloves and work boots are REQUIRED!

WHEN and WHERE:
Sunday, June 8, 2025, 10 am – 2 pm
Meet 10 am at Upper Dog River/Surveyor’s Ridge South Trailhead
Lunch will be provided by NYCity Subs in Hood River.

PROJECT:
Brushing, trimming and tread work, if possible

Bring loppers and hand saws if you have ’em!
Hard hats (bike helmets ok), long pants, work gloves and work boots are REQUIRED!

See you Sunday.

Dog River Trail Temporarily Closed

Hood River County logging operations along Highway 35 are impacting Dog River Trail (#675) access. The trailhead and trail are closed for road relocation/construction during the logging operations. The estimated reopening time is July 2025.

The timber sale and related work are on neighboring Hood River County lands but still impact trail access. The construction work is intended to improve riparian areas and watershed quality.

Following the construction, access to the Dog River Trailhead will resume from a new location just north of the current trailhead entrance. Check Hood River County’s Trail Status page for more information.

In the meantime, Downhill MTB access will be allowed on Zig Zag Trail (#678) until access to Dog River is reopened.
