Get Involved With the Cumberland Trail
Let’s Build Something That Lasts
The Cumberland Trail Conservancy is powered by people.
There are still 43 miles left to build, and every mile takes hands, heart, and commitment.
Whether you’re an experienced trail builder or have never picked up a Pulaski, there’s a place for you here.

Alternative Spring Break
Bring your students to the Cumberland Trail for a week of service, outdoor adventure, and hands-on trail building.
For nearly 30 years, college students from across the country have spent their spring breaks helping construct new sections of Tennessee’s 300-mile Cumberland Trail. Participants work alongside our professional trail crew, gain valuable leadership experience, and make a lasting impact on a project that will be enjoyed for generations.
