Forest Roads and Trail Building

Hooper Hill Forestry builds roads and trails that fit naturally into the landscape. These roads or trails may be used to assist with timber harvesting projects, which will generate income for the Landowner, or simply facilitate your personal enjoyment of the Land. As avid nature enthusiasts, hikers, hunters, runners and dog walkers ourselves, we understand the importance of exploring your property and appreciating its natural beauty.

We have vast expertise in identifying and building roads or trails and we will work with you to determine what type of roads or trails (size, width, mileage, use-type), you wish to construct. We typically begin by mapping the property topographically, taking into consideration steep grades, streams, rivers, ledge and attractive vistas (check out our view creation work), to determine what alterations to your property need to occur in order to build areas for hiking, skiing, ATV riding, snowmobiling, running, biking, or walking.

Prior to founding Hooper Hill Forestry, owner Jordan King worked in the excavation business for many years. Unlike other forestry companies, we know first-hand the challenges of building forest roads and will work efficiently on your behalf. We will either perform the work with our own equipment, or will provide you with reputable businesses that will do quality work for the right price. We understand that forest road construction can be costly, especially if not done right, and will work to save you money. Ask us about our recent projects.

Unlike other outfits that are only concerned with gaining the initial work, and will build roads too cheap, our roads and trails are always designed for the long-term. We produce top quality roads and trails by working with the landscape, integrating high quality materials, and implementing natural maintenance systems, such as water bars, so that our work will withstand erosion, last for many years to come, and help pay for itself. Hooper Hill Forestry has over 20 years of experience developing roads and trails and looks forward to working with you.
