Buttermilk Bend Trail Improvements

Placer Center Corpsmembers haul boulders, gravel, and dirt up and down Buttermilk Bend Trail in Penn Valley, CA to make the trail more accessible.

Building and maintaining a trail means hiking the trail – and not just once, but multiple times every single workday.

CCC Placer Center Corpsmembers will put in up to 12 miles of hiking each day when they’re at South Yuba River State Park.

These aren’t an easy 12 miles either – we’re talking about pushing wheelbarrows and hauling heavy rocks back and forth, and then back and forth again.

Corpsmembers know it’s all worth it to improve the Buttermilk Bend Trail for visitors.
