TREAD IPA is in the works! Our beloved collaboration with Hellbent Brewing Company and is back, and we got to visit the Hellbent location in Seattle to help brew the TREAD IPA together!

“Supporting TREAD is as easy as drinking a nice, clean, crisp IPA,” says Hellbent Brewing. “Like most folks in Washington, we at Hellbent love the great outdoors, and no matter where you live in our state, there is nature to be enjoyed. That’s why we partnered with our friends at TREAD, who are constantly working hard to make sure those outdoor recreation opportunities are preserved, maintained, and available to all.”

Brewed specifically for summer adventures, TREAD IPA is crafted from Washington State hops. The result is a refreshing IPA packed with bright citrus flavor and a light piney bitterness on the finish.

Make sure you are at the TREAD Luau on June 27th at the Taproom by Hellbent Brewing to try the TREAD IPA! Community members are invited to stop by, enjoy the festivities, and be among the first to taste TREAD’s signature Indian Pale Ale. For every pint of TREAD IPA sold during the event — and throughout the month of July — $1 will be donated directly to TREAD to support recreation, trails, and public lands across North Central Washington.

TREAD is excited to announce that we have a new concessionaire site in the Entiat Valley. Cottonwood Cabin!

Cottonwood Cabin was built in the 1940's as an administrative site to house fire, trail and campground crews and now is available as a rental from June through November. TREAD, Discover Entiat and the Entiat Ranger District are partnering to bring unique outdoor recreation opportunities. We have completed work to get the cabin ready for its opening day, June 5. This cabin is a gem with room for 4, running hot water, a separate shower room, solar powered lights, a beautiful view of the Entiat River and steps away from the Entiat River Trailhead.

Reservation can be made at www.recreation.gov/

The Regional Port Authority has awarded Partners in Economic Development funding to support outdoor recreation tourism and economic vitality in the Entiat Valley.

TREAD received $19,000 in funding for the Lake Creek Campground Yurt Project, which will support the construction of year-round overnight lodging at the U.S. Forest Service campground near Entiat. The project is designed to expand recreation tourism opportunities, increase visitation, and support local economic activity throughout the region.

The yurts will be available for reservation through recreation.gov and are being developed through a collaborative partnership between TREAD, the U.S. Forest Service, Discover Entiat Valley, WA, and the City of Entiat.

The Partners in Economic Development Program supports projects that contribute to the economic vitality of Chelan and Douglas counties. Thank you Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority for supporting this project!

We are proud to say TREAD helped the Washington Bike Walk Roll Advocacy conference come to Wenatchee and we were a lead sponsor of the conference. Transportation industry leaders, bicycle advocates from all over the state, key speakers, and many community members attended. Executive Director Mat Lyons even moderated the opening Plenary Panel discussion with mayors from Leavenworth and Chelan, along with city employees from East Wenatchee and Wenatchee. TREAD also co-presented with Chelan County on the Pathways project, which seeks to find routes from the Apple Capital Loop trail to connect the communities of Rock Island, Malaga, Cashmere and Leavenworth. The project also seeks to connect Mason with Chelan, all on paved pathways!

The Blackbird Island work party was a great way to get involved and work on a project that will benefit our community! The kids fishing pond at Blackbird Island in Leavenworth, Washington was damaged in the storms and flooding, and TREAD and other amazing volunteers made a big impact at a work party last weekend.

A HUGE thank you to McMahon Excavation for the machines, and a big thank you to Trent Jackson for leading the effort and donating his own machine to the effort as well. There is still more to be done, so stay tuned for the next work party, and let's keep clearing the pond so the kids can fish this summer.

If you were unable to volunteer in person, you can still help out the project. To support this effort, there is a GoFundMe campaign. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Trout Unlimited, the official steward of the project. We would greatly appreciate your help in sharing the fundraiser and spreading the word within the community.
