On June 22, two popular trails were greatly improved with the help of volunteers during Big South Fork’s annual National Trails Day event.

Volunteers helped build a 40-foot-long trail bridge between Yahoo Falls and Alum Ford on the Sheltowee Trace (a designated National Recreation Trail), by assisting park staff in transporting lumber and tools as well as the replacement of decking boards and handrails on the entire bridge. Volunteers also assisted trail crews with vegetation, drainage, and tread improvements on the Proctor Ridge Horse Trail.

Volunteers are an important part of ensuring park trails are clear and well-maintained. If you are interested in learning more on how you can volunteer, contact the volunteer coordinator at [e-mail], or call [phone]
