How we build trail at Falls Lake
We need your help to build the final few miles of MST at Falls Lake! We've already completed 60 miles, and now we're extending the trail into the Penny's Bend Natural Area at the northwestern end of Falls Lake. New volunteers and volunteer groups are always welcome, but YOU MUST REGISTER below so we have enough tools and work projects.
After the workday, the US Army Corps of Engineers is hosting a cookout (hotdogs, hamburgers, and veggie burgers) to thank all volunteers for their help.
