New safety and trail designation signs on Hoot (Cable) Trail

5/25/2017

 
Picture
The Forest Service has approved and installed new trail signs to remind everyone that the newly re-routed Hoot Trail, which starts at the Harmony Market on Highway 20, is shared by all trail users.The Hoot Trail is the old Cable Trail that was closed by the Tahoe National Forest for safety reasons. For over a decade, the equestrians of the Gold Country Trails Council worked with the Forest Service to get this multi-use, non-motorized trail re-opened by funding the CEQA, NEPA declarations done and protected species clearance.
During the past 18 months, trails organizations assisted the Forest Service in finally building the new trail, including Gold Country Trails Council and Bicyclists of Nevada County (BONC) by providing CCC funds, trail tools and machines, design and the physical work on the ground finishing the trail. The trail was officially opened this past month.
As designated, this trail is multi-use, open to bikes, hikers and horses. Because the trail has been marketed for this past month as a bicycle trail, many out-of-area mt. bikers have come to try it out. To curtail speed and post trail yield rules, the Forest Service approved and installed these new signs on May 24 to remind everyone that the trail is shared by all trail users.
