Trailblazers assist visitors by providing information, first aid, and bike maintenance on the multi-use Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, and over 100 miles of trails in CVNP. Recruitment for the Trailblazer program will begin in the Fall of 2020.
Aspiring Trailblazers are encouraged to experience this unique volunteer opportunity by shadowing a seasoned pair of Trailblazers during a bike, hike or mounted patrol. This shadowing opportunity is a great way to discover if this volunteer program is a good fit for you!
To schedule a shadow patrol with a Trailblazer, contact the Volunteer Management Office at volunteer@forcvnp.org. In your email please indicate which type of patrol you are interested in; whether it's hike, bike or mounted.
