The part of the trail winding through Fishlake Forest is a series of old mining and timber roads, livestock paths and hiking trails that crisscross the forest. Some of the links between these roads and paths have already been constructed. They have been built through the labors of volunteer groups and the Forest Service, but there is still a lot needing to be done to complete the Great Western Trail.

Signs showing the route need to be placed and access trails built, But it cant be done without the work of those people who will enjoy it, said Larry Theivagt, Forest Recreation Staff Officer. Trail heads and access route can also benefit the communities by not only providing the residents an easy way onto the trail, but also providing a way for those on the trail to get off and into the communities. If the people in the Fishlake Forest area can catch the Great Western Trail fever, then perhaps our part of the trail will not be merely a link between Canada and Mexico, but will also link ourselves with one of our most scenic resources, Kent Taylor concluded.
