Carl Albert Park in Durant! Have you heard about it? Here's what I heard. There are about 2 miles of pretty easy trails throughout the wooded area and on both sides of the creek running through the park. Most of them have been newly made in 2024 and they are well maintained.

TPTA hasn't been there yet. Would someone local give us an update? Is Carl Albert Park a good place for us to hike?

First Day Hike is in the books. Have a safe and happy time as you hit the trails this year.

Hats off to a great start to the New Year!

Our Hats Off to the New Year First Day Hike brought out some creative headwear, big smiles, and plenty of fresh air fun.

Thank you to everyone who rang in 2026 with us on the trial!
