Wyoming residents can savor the first fruits of the Great American Outdoors Act, as Shoshone National Forest fully replaces a 15-year-old trail bridge.
Shoshone National Forest has completed its first project with funds provided thru the Great American Outdoors Act.
An existing bridge – which forest officials say has been “unserviceable” for over 15 years – has been removed and completed replaced. The bridge is located on the Yellowstone Trail near Brooks Lake, a popular trail for outdoor recreation on the Wind River Ranger District outside Dubois.
In addition to Shoshone National Forest staff, this project was made possible by collaboration with the Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee, Wyoming State Trails, and Brooks Lake Lodge.
