Fuel the vision, help build the trail.

Your donation helps turn plans into footsteps. Every contribution supports the creation of a continuous, publicly accessible footpath through Minnesota’s Driftless Region. From mapping to maintenance, your support brings us closer to opening more miles of trail for everyone to enjoy.

Pitch in and make trail magic happen.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of our trail-building effort. From helping with outreach to joining work crews in the field, there’s a way for everyone to make a meaningful impact. No experience necessary–just bring your enthusiasm and we’ll provide the rest.
