Grafton Lakes State Park Hosts Successful National Trails Day

The National Trails Day event at Grafton Lakes State Park on Saturday, June 6, had an excellent turnout with over 100 participants for the second year in a row.  Volunteers cleaned up litter, cleared debris, put up new trail markers and improved drainage and terrain on many of the Park’s trails.
Trailwork support came from a broad range of outdoor and recreation organizations.  Participating groups included the Grafton Trailblazers, Grafton Trail Riders, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Mohawk-Hudson Cycling Club, Taconic Hiking Club, Student Conservation Association, Grafton Elementary School PTO, Friends of Grafton Lakes State Park and a strong group of other supportive community members. The hardworking volunteers ranged in age from 1 to early 80s.
The Park would also like to thank all the businesses that donated toward making the event a success including Price Chopper, Brunswick Barbeque and Brew, Walmart, Paine and Son, Hannaford, Edelmann Sales, Sam’s Club, Guiseppe’s Restaurant, Adirondack Sports and Fitness magazine and Dunkin Donuts.
