| Adopt-A-Trail
LaPorte
County Parks had nearly 10 miles of trails before the
introduction of Red Mill County Park.Currently there is
just nearly 10 miles of trails at Red Mill County Park
and more are yet to come. The Parks Department takes a
lot of pride in the quality of these trails. Thousands
of visitors each year venture through woods, wetlands,
and over water on park trails. Trails range from paved
to wood chipped and are used for biking to hiking. An
Adopt-A-Trail program has been created within the LaPorte
County Parks Volunteer Program. Individuals, groups, and
families can adopt a trail at any of the LaPorte County
Parks. Adopt-A-Trail (AAT) parents and families can volunteer
their time and help take care of a trail of their choice.
Duties include hiking the trail twice a month and cleaning
up litter or debris from the trail. AAT volunteers will
also help notify park staff of problems that need to be
attended to in order to maintain safe trails.
Many
trails have already been adopted, but there is still many
that are still available. LaPorte County Parks Department
is looking for dedicated groups or individuals who will
adopt one of the many trails in the parks. AAT volunteers
are important in the continuing efforts to offer high
quality trails to visitors of the LaPorte County Parks.
