Trail Maintenance Workshop

Saturday and Sunday, September 20 & 21, 2025

Shenandoah National Park - North District


For more than 35 years, the PATC’s Hoodlums Trail Crew and Shenandoah National Park staff have conducted a Trail Maintenance Workshop in the North District of the Park.  The objective is to teach basic skills to new and prospective trail maintainers and to provide experienced trail maintainers advanced training in trail design, construction, and maintenance. SNP trail professionals and experienced PATC crew leaders provide instruction that will help novice and veteran trail maintainers alike.  Workshop participants typically camp for the weekend at the Mathews Arm Campground in the North District of the Park. Participants will have free entry to the Park and Campground. 


The Workshop will begin Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. and end Sunday at 1:00 p.m.  Participants are encouraged to arrive Friday afternoon/evening and camp at Mathews Arm, socialize with other participants, and thereby avoid an early-morning drive. The fee for the workshop, which includes dinner Saturday and breakfast and lunch Sunday is $40.   


The workshop is limited to 30 participants, which we typically reach by early-August. The registration deadline is Friday, September 5. When we reach capacity, we will maintain a waiting list. For more information contact David Nebhut via e-mail: david.nebhut@gmail.com or by phone: 571-465-1041.
