National Trails Day
June 1, 2024
Let’s hit the trails! Enjoy free entry to the Anne Springs Close Greenway on National Trails Day. With our combined efforts, the Anne Springs Close Greenway aims to record 2,000 miles of trails covered.
Find estimated mileage by multiplying the number in your group (including dogs and horses) by the mileage of the trail(s) you hiked/biked/rode. You may also count the number of paddling loops you completed on Lake Haigler.
Not only will recording miles help us reach our goals, but the Greenway will apply your mileage towards a family membership:
- 1 mile hiked = $1 off
- Up to $12 off
