Private Trail Days

Book a Private Trail Day:

Trail days are held as part of our Trail Adoption Program (TAP), where we partner with businesses and local groups who, with our builders, work on and maintain the trails throughout the year.

Depending on the package the partner chooses, they partake in a number of trail days each year. While some partners hold their trail days in private for their team, others use them as opportunities for the community to join in on trail work.

If you are not one of our partners, you can still bring your business or group out to the trails by booking a private trail day with us! Trail days are generally held for three to four hours.

We ask for a suggested donation of $250-$500, depending on your group’s size. This is to cover the cost of the trail builder and our admin requirements. If this is not within your budget, you’re still welcome to book with us and pay what you can.
