Great Trails State Day is this Saturday, October 17! North Carolina is home to an incredible variety of trails and outdoor spaces, with opportunities to explore in every part of the state! Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail is proud to be part of the Great Trails State Coalition, working alongside organizations and communities across NC to advocate for trails, expand access, and support the people who make them possible. Through its advocacy and partnerships, the Coalition has helped secure more than $75 million in state funding for trails and greenways! While the MST connects North Carolina from the mountains to the coast, it's just one part of a much larger trail community. Great Trails State Day is a chance to celebrate our trails and the volunteers, organizations, and communities that care for them. This Saturday, invite a friend or family member to get outside with you! Hike a section of the MST, explore a new trail, bike a greenway, paddle a river, or volunteer to help care for your favorite outdoor space. How are you planning to celebrate Great Trails State Day?
