Used Gear Sales

Supported by Arrow Adventure benefitting the Spotted Turtle Trail

Visitors to the Adventure Summit have a chance to pick up some lightly used outdoor recreation related equipment.  The Used Gear Area provides a great place for outdoor adventurers to recycle their used gear. This reduces waste going into our landfills and helps others pick up the equipment needed to try a new outdoor adventure at an introductory rate.

The Spotted Turtle Trail Project will create a continuous 15-mile trail connecting the parks and reserves along the Beaver Creek wetland corridor. The trail will create access to these unique wetlands and provide opportunities for the community to learn about and enjoy this endangered natural resource. When complete, the Spotted Turtle Trail along with loops and spurs will provide more than 40 miles of trails!
