Volunteers are a valuable resource in helping to maintain the quality and condition of Cuyahoga Valley National Park’s 125 miles of multi-use trails. National Trails Day, the largest trails volunteer event of the year, provides a great opportunity for participants of all ages and experience levels to contribute to a variety of trail maintenance projects. In 2017, 132 volunteers donated more than 577 hours worth of work during this event!
