National Trails Day is an annual event held the first Saturday of June each year. It is sponsored by the American Hiking Society and supported by The National Park Service. Last year more than 70,000 people participated in the National Trails Day across the country!

Each year the Gateway Brown’s Creek Trail Association supports the day with tabletop displays along the 26 miles of the trail, providing information about the trial system, expansion plans, snacks and beverages for the folks using the trail that day.

This year the weather did not start out cooperating with getting out early on the trials for activity. However, around noon the sun finally came out and many more bikers, skaters, walkers, and runners were out making great use of the path!

Many folks that stopped by to visit were training for Grandma’s Marathon or the MS 150 ride with many miles already done for the day with more to go! Thanks very much to everyone who stopped by to visit with us this year!
