We are continually maintaining 35+ miles of trails through the continued support of 1,500+ volunteers
Our mission is to create, maintain, and improve multi-use trails in the New River Valley through coordinated volunteer efforts.
PCTC is the hub of trail work implementation in the New River Valley.
A centralized group of community volunteers is needed to continuously improve, expand, and maintain our public trail resources as trail-based recreation continues to grow in popularity along with the population of the New River Valley.
We’re working to create trails that everyone can enjoy.
Some of our work includes:
Developed McDonald Hollow trail design, layout, and survey.
Constructed Pine Forest, Crosscut, Snyder’s Knob.
Established re-routes on Joe Pye, Queen Anne, and Skullcap trails.
Removed hundreds of blowdowns on Poverty Creek trail system.
Implemented Mayapple causeways, drainage, and log-skinny.
Collaborated on Mountain Bike Skills Park design improvements, earthwork, and feature construction.
