What does the Burke River Trail Association really do?
We are not just trail builders – we are community builders!!
We use trails as a catalyst for stronger communities, economic opportunity, and quality of life across Burke County.
That means you’ll find us…
Organizing Litter Gitters to care for our shared spaces.
Reading stories and leading conservation crafts with children.
Creating Storybook Trails that blend literacy, nature, and family fun.
Supporting public art that brings people together.
Helping towns imagine their future through master planning.
Building trail connections between neighborhoods and downtowns.
Installing kiosks that help visitors discover local businesses.
Working alongside volunteers, local governments, nonprofits, businesses, and community partners.
Every project is different. But the goal is always the same:
Building stronger communities across Burke County.
