Josh- Jergins Trail

One of my co-workers owns the property on the far side of the creek (he's a very nice guy). He offered to let me drive in from his property and run around down by the creek while he watched and threw back a couple of cold ones. I didn't take him up on it becuase I felt like I was intruding.



He told me the trail was closed/blocked becuase of the shooting going on and the trash the loser-users (not the winner-users as most of us are) were leaving back there. These are two good reasons in my mind to close that trail. I hope the Pirate crew helps clean up the problems or the trail will again quickly close if those previous actions strart right back up.

I agree completely. There's a small trAil in South Lake Tahoe that is open only during the summer and there is a gate that's opened and closed daily from 8am-8am. I wish they could work something out like that. Just to have a small window of access would be awesome. There's some good swimming in the creek.

This is the same sad story as Bassy Falls. That too was a great trail, especially in the winter...

wen i was in British Columbia we had wat was called a key program for Eagle ridge trail

you went to a small city office proved you had 4x4 (usually registration)

paid 50$ and got a gate key

you had to sign papers being responsible for who was with yuo that did not have a key

we used to get disgusted with all the garbadge that was left by idiots (couches household garbadge etc...)

this key program started 2 years ago and is still in affect today

actually works really well

I worked on a trail cleanup on Jergins and helped haul out a lot of trash. Within a few weeks the trail was closed. I've always felt it was a conspiracy by the homeowners - be buddy-buddy with us to get the trash cleaned up then lock us out. 😏



I don't think it was just the guests doing the shooting. One day I was there and there was quite a bit of shooting coming from near one of the houses (not aimed at me thankfully).

That's actually quite creative...

That would be a great idea!! It would fund the gate and any maintenance the trail would require. Plus we would only have to blame ourselves if it closed again. I like it.

Good luck ever getting this trail open to the public. I have personally talked to the homeowners who closed this trail. They had problems with people shooting towards their houses in the past as well as drunk idiots on their quads/4x4's. I used to do this trail with my dad and his friends all the time. Living only a few minutes away it was a great little trail.



There has been talk about putting in a park down there.

I know one of the adjacent property owners and he will let me drive down to the creek through his property if I hang out and have a beer with him. I won't be opened because of the losers who trashed it before.
