Our 2nd annual Mountains-to-Sea Trail month is now over. We celebrated October with 36 events statewide – backpacks, dayhikes, paddles, art auctions and more.
We have many people to thank for the festivities:

All the folks who organized events to help thousands of people get out and enjoy the trail.
Our generous and enthusiastic corporate sponsors – Great Outdoor Provision Co., Commercial Glazing Associates Inc, Crosland, Patagonia and many more. See the complete list of sponsors below.
Governor Beverly Perdue for proclaiming October as Mountains-to-Sea Trail month
All the organizations, newspapers, magazines and radio stations that publicized events and featured news about the trail.
And the hundreds of people who bought raffle tickets. The money raised will be a big help in our efforts to build and maintain the trail. Congratulations to the 11 winners. We hope they are enjoying their prizes!

We hope you’ll help us celebrate the trail next October. Whether you like to hike, backpack, paddle, or pedal we’ll have events for all skill levels and outdoor interests in beautiful settings,
Check back in mid-2010, to explore the list of planned activities.
