Friends Activities
Throughout the year Friends hosts events and activities for park visitors. Friends raises funds to support programs and projects that enhance the visitors' park experiences. Volunteers help park staff maintain hiking, ski, snowshoe, and bike trails. Included among Friends recent financial contributions were funds supporting the purchase of land expanding the park's footprint as well as the park's naturalist program. Current fund raising efforts are focused on building a pavilion and purchasing trail grooming equipment.
