Off-season work over the past year on the Box Canyon trail at 25-Mile creek has resulted in 95% completion of Phase A and substantial progress on Phase B. Project leaders report that Phase A will be complete and open for a soft-launch later in 2024. Phase B completion will follow in 2025.

Fundraising by LCTA supporters has been strong. $36,000 in private donations, to be applied to the three phases, has been committed. Additionally, the Lake Chelan Rotary Club has committed $20,000 towards the completion of the last phase. These funds will be used in concert with existing grant monies secured by project partner, US Forest Service.
The Box Canyon trail will offer a variety of hiking and trail running experiences. The journey to the overlook (at the end of Phase A) will offer a moderate day trip. Continuing down to the lakeshore through Phase B and along the Phase C trail will offer a full day trip or an intimate overnight camping opportunity.
