Help open a new Henderson County park named for Frank and Calla Bell. We’ve already done the hard part: we secured the land. We just need to raise the funds for trails and a parking area so we can open Bell Park.
A new two-mile section of trail just opened in the Hickory Nut Gorge, creating a link between two highly popular trails—the Bearwallow Mountain Trail and the Wildcat Rock Trail. It’s part of our larger vision for a 130+ mile trail network in the gorge.
Big news! We are under contract on the 19-mile Ecusta Trail corridor. This proposed rail trail would link Hendersonville and Brevard, bringing major benefits for the local economy, health, and outdoor recreation.
Earl B. Hunter, Jr. of Black Folks Camp Too says that when people can connect around the our love for the outdoors, “We begin to have this harmony, where people can talk around the campfire.” You’re invited to join one of those campfire conversations in this video premiere!
Black Folks Camp Too founder Earl Hunter says, “I had the grandiose idea that… the campfire could be this piece that brings a whole entire country together.”
Our trails in the Hickory Nut Gorge are reopening! But please try to avoid overcrowding so we can keep them open.
