Rutherford Trails Project
Rutherford Trails is a new project of ROC designed to get a wide range of individuals, businesses and civic leaders together to actively build, maintain and promote all types of trails in Rutherford County. Trails include the rail trail, hiking trails, multi-use greenways and blueways (paddle trail).
Trail Meetings
Meetings are at 5:30pm on the third Tuesday of each month at Rutherford County Office Building (aka The Annex) at 289 N. Main St., Rutherfordton.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to sit in and help shape the future of trails in Rutherford County.
Contact us for more information and check back here for updates as this project moves forward. An e-mail list will be created for this project so let us know if you want to be added to that list. Feel free to make suggestions anytime for additional resources below.
It is time to put trails on the ground in Rutherford County!
