Support the Cumberland Trail Conservancy

The Cumberland Trail isn’t built by chance — it’s built by people who care. Your donation helps create new miles of trail, maintain existing sections, and protect Tennessee’s wild places for everyone to enjoy.

Every gift, no matter the size, moves the trail forward.

What Your Support Makes Possible

  • New trail construction across the Cumberland Plateau
  • Essential maintenance on existing miles
  • Tools, equipment, and volunteer support
  • Conservation and stewardship of Tennessee’s natural landscapes

Together, we can connect communities, protect landscapes, and build a trail that will last for generations.
