Easy WrkPrty—Scott & Hand Lake “Love a Lake” cleanup—Thursday, October 5, 2023
Leader: Meg Stewart Smith

Please meet at Scott Mountain Trail Head located at Scott Lake by 10 AM. Carpooling is encouraged, and we will start at 8 AM from Albertson's parking lot, intersection of South 58th and Main Street, Springfield. We head out Hwy 126 and it takes about 2 hours driving time. This is a workparty at both Scott & Hand Lakes—both lakes are easily accessed from Hwy 242. This is a “Love a Lake” stewardship project in collaboration with the Cascade Volunteers. We will be cleaning 18 campgrounds at Scott Lake as well taking apart fire rings at dispersed campgrounds located near Hand Lake. This activity is for all skill levels—easy hikers encouraged! Please talk with me about your interest in visiting Dee Wright Observatory or continuing on to Sisters after our work is completed. If there is interest—there are optional 4 to 7 mile hike out & back, a Scott Mountain loop trail, or a shorter hike to Hand Lake. I would provide a shuttle from Hand back to Scott Lake.
