Itinerary:

There are 20+ miles of trails that had just under 2,600,00 visitors in 2021. If you have not taken part in this event before you will be able to look back at what we have accomplished knowing you have contributed the trails at KMNBP better for those hiking them. Due to weather five of twelve maintenance were cancelled in 2022. Due to these cancellations’ maintenance is behind and the trails are in bad shape.

We will be working from the base of Pigeon Hill (Burnt Hickory Road side) to the switchback going up Little Kennesaw. Our projects will include deberming, replacing rock on steps, rebuilding steps, and trashing out trail creep.

VOLUNTEER!! YOUR PARK NEEDS YOU!!

You will be working with and following the instructions of a Kennesaw Mountian Trail Club Crew Leader(s) to which you will be assigned. We will work in a group if possible. We will learn the procedures of how to make our trails better for today & for the future.

We will meet at the Pigeon Hill Parking Lot, parking in the field at the end of the parking lot. A volunteer will provide a parking pass that will allow you to park there. Introductions will be conducted by members of the Kennesaw Mountain Trail Club and a review of safe working procedures will be done. Teams will be assigned and we will proceed to our assigned work sites after a group safety breif has been conducted.

Required Items to Bring:

Work cloths and comfortable closed toe shoes

Work Gloves, I recommend that you bring your own. We can provide some, I'm not sure you want to wear these.
