FAQS:

1. The trail sounds great! How do I visit it?

Unfortunately, the trail is almost entirely on private property. Our mission is to get it into public hands. To visit the trail, please join us on an organized walk when we have permission to cross private property. See Events.

2. Where exactly is the trail?

The proposed trailheads would be at the Sandpoint Water Treatment Plant (which is the site of a proposed city park) and also in Ponderay. The trail would extend from Ponder Point to Sandpoint on the water-ward side of the Burlington Northern-Sante Fe Railroad tracks.

3. How long is the proposed trail?

The entire project area is almost 2 miles long.

4. What’s Black Rock?

Black Rock is an old slag heap from the Panhandle Smelting and Refining Company. The area now is contaminated with some heavy metals. The site is on private property and is scheduled to be cleaned up by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality.
