November 11, 2017 Trail Work Day Plan

The work planed is to perform trail maintenance on the mountain trail section from the rock stairs @ mid mountain fire road to the concrete steps leading to the mountain top parking lot. We plan to have a variety of work including; large rock placements, trail grooming, fence repair, social trail closure, r

Work for 11-11-2017 will be on the lower portion of the Mountain Trail below the fireroad. Big job! Due to safety considerations, Mountain Trail hikers will be rerouted to the smoother Picket Line Trail so that we can close the Mountain Trail in the work areas. We will have 9 key work areas, see the map below.

Intersection of Powder Springs Road and Cheatham Hill Road
