How we build trail at Falls Lake
FMST hosts regular workdays on the MST at Falls Lake in Wake and Durham counties. We're building new trail and maintaining the more than 60 miles already built. Join us and help complete the last four miles to Penny's Bend Natural Area on the Eno River. New volunteers and volunteer groups are always welcome, but YOU MUST REGISTER below so we have enough tools and work projects.
