NCTA Wampum Chapter

NCTA Wampum Chapter Wampum Chapter Of the North Country Trail Association Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio Our end goal is to eventually have all 120 miles off of the road.

The North Country Trail Association Wampum Chapter values just, diverse, equitable, and inclusive trail experiences. We are committed to these principles for everyone’s enjoyment of the North Country National Scenic Trail. We strive to better include those who experience barriers to trails by prioritizing equitable solutions to ensure all can connect to and care for the Trail in a way that is mean

ingful for them. The North Country National Scenic Trail in Wampum Chapter territory starts at Alpha Pass at McConnell's Mill State Park in Portersville, PA and runs southwestward through the PA State Gamelands 148, through the Trail Town of Wampum, Enon Valley, the Trail Town of Darlington and through the State Gamelands 285. It then crosses the state border into Ohio, entering Beaver Creek State Forest lands and Sheepskin Hollow and Beaverkettle Properties. It passes through Beaver Creek State Park before hitting the road the rest of the way to Zoar, Ohio, passing many quaint towns along Rt. 30. The trail is a combination of 'in the woods' pathways and temporary, connecting road walks. We appreciate our landowners - both public and private - for hosting the trail on their property.

One bridge down (with several more to build) on the new section of NCT in Elkton, Ohio! A great crew came together on Thursday and knocked this one out in short order - nicely done. With this one in place we can proceed onward to the east, clearing the treadway up to the next water crossing site. You can stay abreast of our future trail work plans, hikes, ,meetings, and Wampum Chapter activities here on the Meetup https://www.meetup.com/wampum-chapter-north-country-trail-association-meetup/

Some sign work and trail maintenance in Wampum on Tuesday morning. Appreciated Karen coming out to help - it would have been challenging to get that trail head sign in the ground without some assistance. Those of you who worked on building that .4 mile of NCT won't be shocked to hear that we had some rocks to deal with while digging that hole near the road. A good morning on the trail!
Our next work event is a bridge build in Elkton on Thursday morning - join us! https://www.meetup.com/wampum-chapter-north-country-trail-association-meetup/events/314855394/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events
