ECTA is building connections—one trail at a time.
We develop, maintain, and promote a regional trail network that supports healthy communities, outdoor access, and a vibrant local economy.
Guided by the community-developed Enchanted Circle Trails Plan, we partner with land managers, towns, user groups, nonprofits, and businesses to move trail projects from idea to reality.
Whether it’s hands-on maintenance, shared planning, or community outreach, we work with people who know that strong trails make strong communities.
Stewardship connects us
With land-management budgets stretched thin, local partners are stepping up to keep our trails open and cared for. Join us in thanking our Adopt-a-Trail teams, who give their time each year so everyone can enjoy these places.
