Events - National Trails Day

View All Events

Each year, the Palmetto Trail joins the American Hiking Society’s “National Trails Day” in providing the perfect opportunity to set off on your favorite passage of the Palmetto Trail with others in your community. Join the nationwide movement to give back to trails and build a world where everyone feels welcome and has access to enjoy the great outdoors. 

Taking place on the first Saturday in June, National Trails Day is a day of public events aimed at advocacy and trail service. All hikers, bikers, paddlers, horseback riders, trail clubs, federal and local agencies, land trusts, and businesses are invited to come together in partnership with the Palmetto Trail to advocate for, maintain, and clean up public lands and trails across South Carolina.
