KMNBP Trails Work Day - Nose Creek Trail - North Side

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 on the Noses Creek Trail from the Pigeon Hill Parking Lot to about halfway up the hill on the south side on the Noses Creek Bridge. We will work on the erosion issues on the Noses Creek Trail. Crush and Run will be taken to the worksites by Gators. We will then use this to fill in the badly eroded areas.

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. 

This event will not be rescheduled if it is cancelled for any reason.
