With over 64 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails in our park, it takes a lot of volunteers to maintain things. As often as possible, we send out trail crews to maintain trails, clear fallen trees, repair bridges, and even build new trails. Why do we devote so much of our free time to doing this? Well, quite frankly, it’s fun. The trail maintainers are a committed and friendly group of volunteers who enjoy the outdoors and take pleasure in contributing to the park’s well-being.
What special skills are needed to be a trail maintainer? Almost none. If you can hike a trail and carry a tool or two, you have what it takes. We even offer occasional training on how to use a chainsaw or build a trail. Many volunteers have even adopted a section of the trail to maintain throughout the year.
Cloudland Canyon Friends group has regular scheduled trail work days on the second Saturday of each month, starting at 8:30 am. Join us at the tool shed (given the ongoing visitors center work, contact us if you don’t know where the tool shed is located) to participate in our effort to maintain our trails. We need your help, and we have a good time!
If you think you might want to join us, just drop us a note. Let us know you’re interested in trail maintenance, and we will let you know how to get involved. Contact Us

Adopt-A-Trail Program
The Adopt-A-Trail program is vital to maintaining the trails at Cloudland Canyon. Below is a list of the trails along with the current adopted parent. Each adopter has agreed to maintain and monitor the condition of their trail and to alert the trail crew of problems that need attention.
