When

June 6, 2026. 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Over 200 years ago, early adventurers like Daniel Boone walked these same hills and valleys we see today. On National Trails Day, help us clean up Stock Creek Trail to preserve it for the adventurers still to come. We will be cleaning up trash along the trail and creek as we make our way to view the tunnel from the inside out. This strenuous walk will include crossing boulders and rocks, just like the early adventurers. Lights and walking sticks will be provided. Gloves and bags will also be provided for trash collection.

This program is open to anyone age 8 and up.

You will cross the creek multiple times; at times it is knee deep. Wear clothing you do not mind getting wet.

For your comfort and safety appropriate footwear with a secure heel and closed toe is required; backless shoes, flip-flops, crocs, or sandals (including Chacos) are NOT allowed.

Pre-registration is required. To reserve your spot, contact the park office at 276-940-2674. No pets.
