If you would like to help us with trail work, please contact us.

If you'd rather work on your own, feel free to walk a trail, picking up trash and moving small branches from the trails. Please don't cut any branches; if a trail needs more attention, email trails@polknc.org and we will take care of it or bring it to that trail manager's attention.

MIND YOUR MANNERS

Most trails, if they are open, may not have public facilities that are open, so check ahead of time. If a trail is crowded, please travel to a different spot so you can practice social distancing. Other trail courtesies also still apply: keep dogs on-leash on all hiking trails, take your trash with you, etc. Thanks for doing your part!
