2011 Forney Ridge Trail Workdays

The first 1.8 miles of Forney Ridge Trail is a popular route out to Andrews Bald.  During the 2009 Trails Forever season the trail crew reconstructed about 1.2 miles of the trail from Andrews Bald back towards Clingmans Dome parking lot.  The reconstruction made a dramatic change to the trail, but there is still work to be done. 

Completing the work that remains on the Forney Ridge Trail will be the primary project for the 2011 Trails Forever Trail Crew. 

Check out the "Volunteering Tab" and join us for a worday out on the trail!  Volunteers will work to complete a variety of trail maintenance and trail rehabilitation work from cleaning drains, modifying structures, constructing additional drainage features, and adding fill material to structures as needed.  There will be a limit of 5 volunteers for each of the Forney Ridge Workdays and you must sign up at least one week in advance to volunteer with the crew!  Once you sign up and secure a spot for one of the workdays, we will provide you with more details.  To sign up, contact Christine Hoyer, Trails & Facilities Volunteer Coordinator at 828-497-1949 or christine_hoyer@nps.gov.
