What We Do
As advocates for the Cumberland Trail, we do a lot of different things. For example, we help the State Park by managing camping registration throughout the Park. We also post trail status updates so folks can see current conditions of the trails when planning their outings.
We also maintain historical records of the land, culture, and history of the Cumberland Trail. We provide information on recreational opportunities along the trail. We even have a recording label that preserves the sounds of Appalachia.
