Lincoln County is proud to sponsor its 5th Annual National Trails Day®. National Trails Day is the only nationwide trails celebration, bringing together thousands of outdoor enthusiasts on the first Saturday of June. It also provides an opportunity to thank the volunteers, land managing agencies, and outdoor-minded businesses for their support in developing and maintaining trails.
Since 1993, National Trails Day® has grown to inspire many thousands of people to
enjoy trails on the same day nationwide. All 50 states have had events, as well as the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Guam and the Virgin Islands. National Trails
Day® is now a permanent fixture on the calendars of trail clubs, businesses, and
government agencies. With more than 1,100 registered events in 2007, greater
awareness of trails was brought to thousands of people through dedications, hikes, bike
and horse rides, paddle trips, trail maintenance, and many other activities. Event hosts
included local hiking clubs, federal agencies, municipal parks, retailers, land trusts, and
many other businesses and organizations.
