We're starting a new program for the first Friday of the month! Did you know we have TONS of FREE trails in Rome? That's right, whether you're new to the area or a local resident, there's plenty of places to explore. We'll be picking a trail each month to hike and we invite community members to join us.

This months trail hike will be the Van Kuren Recreational Trail! Plan to meet at 10:00 AM at the point/near the observation tower.

The trail is just over 3 miles long and we'll stop 3-4 times throughout the route to talk about the native landscape as well as a bit about Rome.

Helpful Hints:

-Dress in layers, in case we get "spring" weather.

-Bring water!

-Wear sturdy shoes for wet/snowy hiking conditions.

(Yaktrax or Crampons may be helpful for icy patches)

We hope to see you there!
