Mark your calendars for Celebrate Trails Day 2024 on April 27, 2024!

Hosted annually on the fourth Saturday of April, this spring celebration envisioned by the Rails to Trails Conservancy (RTC) invites everyone to embrace America’s remarkable trails and trail systems. Come celebrate and explore Chestertown’s Gilchrest Rail Trail on Saturday, April 27th at 11am. We will gather at AJAX Park just off the rail trail downtown behind the old train station. There is a parking lot on Cannon Street next to Casa Carmen.

Trails are essential for offering chances for exploration, adventure, and discovery, inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to go on memorable adventures in the outdoors. These benefits range from encouraging physical activity and mental well -being to fostering connections with nature and facilitating economic development. We hope you will join us as we walk the rail trail up to Morgnec Road and back. Along the walk we will hear from speakers who will talk about the various trail and connectivity projects around the town.
