Friends of the Rail Trail

Friends of the Rail Trail is a community organization dedicated to supporting and promoting the development and maintenance of rail trails—former railway lines repurposed as recreational paths for walking, biking, and other activities. By engaging local residents, volunteers, and stakeholders, they advocate for safe, accessible, and sustainable trail networks that enhance outdoor recreation, connect communities, and preserve transportation heritage. Their efforts often include fundraising, advocacy, volunteer work, and educational outreach to ensure these trails remain valuable assets for public enjoyment and environmental health.
