Portland area MTBers. Looks like the south side of scappy trails are open again as of today. The official notice is below. The only thing I would add is EXPECT a good deal of mess on the trails. Lots of blow down and much plant growth will probably make for more clearing than riding. But if you want to help out without “Cutting” that would be wonderful for your fellow riders. Pitch in and make it the best “close to pdx” place to ride. NWTA leadership has been the most important reason we have a good relationship with the landowners. Great job by them and all of us who have worked with landowner needs.
Get out to ride and take care of the trails. Let Andy know by contact info below what you find.

Subject: ADV: SOUTH SIDE OPEN!
SOUTH SIDE OPENS MONDAY
The South Side trails opens Monday. Both the North and South sides of the road are open.
You heard it here first from the source, so thanks for being on the NWTA Scappose email list. Will get around to putting it on the website sometime Monday, so fresh tracks are yours.
Obviously we have not been in there for a while, and we assume some trails have been impacted by a year without maintenance efforts.
So you can pick up sticks, move small debris and limbs off the trail. You cannot cut trees nor do any reconstruction yet.
We will try to get out this week and check it out, but please send trail reports, blowdowns, missing trail etc via email to andyj@nw-trail.org and we will work with the land owner to secure approval for any fixes. Then we will organize some informal efforts to get the trails back in shape.
Thanks for respecting the closure and helping build trust with the owners of the land, now go out and enjoy!
