Whether you'd like to volunteer at one of our upcoming events, come hiking with us, or donate from the comfort of your couch, there are plenty of ways to get involved with PATC and make a difference. Every dollar donated, every hour of volunteer work, every like and follow on social media allows us to keep doing what we're doing. However you decide to get involved, we appreciate you.

The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club plays a critical role in outdoor recreation in our region. You can be part of that.
