BLAZING THE Blue ridge Bartram Trail since 1977
We’re glad you found us! The Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy is a non-profit organization that maintains the 112+ miles of Bartram National Recreational Trail. This wonderful hiking trail meanders from North Georgia to the heart of Western North Carolina.
Our non-profit, originally founded in 1977 as the North Carolina Bartram Trail Society, built the trail as we hike it today. Our members and volunteers continue to maintain the existing trail system as well as build new paths.
We’re dedicated to ensuring an enjoyable, safe, and educational experience for everyone who explores the Bartram Trail. Keep exploring to discover the natural beauty and community that we strive to kindle.
Learn how you can leave your impression on the Bartram Trail and become a member today.
