The association organizes group rides for all skill levels, fostering community and healthy activity along the trail.

We design and install interpretive signage that highlights natural landmarks and historical points of interest.

Talks & Educational Programs

Regular presentations on local ecology, wildlife, and history educate the public about our precious natural resources.

Community Events & Outreach

From local festivals to trail clean-up days, we connect with the community to build support for the trail.

Supporting DNR and Gunpowder Falls State Park

We work closely with state authorities to secure grants and provide supplemental labor for park improvements.

Our Garden Club Affiliates
The Gunpowder Garden Club and Manor Garden Club have contributed for decades to the beauty of the NCR Trail and its surroundings. We're updating their pages for our new website. Their histories, photographs, and garden information will return soon.
