ACLT's 26+ miles of trails are open to the public free of charge every day of the year. The trails crisscross creeks and streams and meander through wildlands and a variety of forest types, offering visitors a unique opportunity to witness flora and fauna in its natural environment.
​
See below to register for one of our monthly guided hikes. The hikes are designed to explore different trails and offer varying levels of difficulty.
Since its inception in 1986, ACLT has been providing environmentally sustainable public access to managed properties for educational, scientific, recreational, and cultural purposes. ACLT and its partners have preserved over 3800 acres of land in the Parkers Creek and Governors Run watersheds. Guided hikes, canoe trips, and events are offered throughout the year. ACLT's Double Oak farm uses regenerative practices to raise produce that is donated to the local food pantry.
