Trail maintenance made easy...Trail building and maintenance is the centerpiece of our mission. PATC maintains 240 miles of the Appalachian Trail and almost 1000 miles of other trails in the Mid Atlantic region. The effort requires the contributions of hundreds of volunteers, who contribute as trail overseers, trail crew members, or in various other capacities. Our members invest tens of thousands of work hours each year to maintain hiking trails.

    2007 SNP-PATC General Agreement, Appendix B

    Much more than just a convenient travel zone for visitors to provide recreation and access to destination backcountry sites, trails function as a management tool to confine human use and associated resource impacts, serve to regulate access to or away from specified backcountry areas, and improve visitor safety in difficult or unfamiliar natural conditions. Although standards for trail conditions may vary, well-maintained trails are important to these objectives so that resource conditions and a quality visitor experience are preserved.
