Adopt-A-Trail Meetup at Berryman Campground

April 25th 2026 –  8:00am

This event is focused on connecting new and veteran trail adopters. Come out and meet your fellow adopters for a day of trail work on the Courtois and Trace Creek sections. Optional free camping is available Friday and Saturday nights at Berryman Campground. There will be a simple dinner spread on Saturday evening. 

We’ll circle up at 8:00am on Saturday morning to make final plans for trail work. We’ll be pairing off in two vehicle groups to self shuttle various adopter segments in the area. Work will involve the typical activities of a trail adopter outing: removing deadfall, cutting back vegetation, weed eating, leaf blowing, etcetera. We will not be doing any tread work this weekend.

Attendance from folks who adopt on the Courtois & Trace Creek sections will be key to covering mileage. Your knowledge of the area will allow us to split into smaller groups covering more ground. Please bring whatever gear you currently go out with: gloves, handsaw, loppers, weedeater, blower, chainsaw (only if USFS certified), etc. I will also have some tools on hand for any who need them.

Any and all are welcome! You do not need to be an adopter or current OTA member to attend. This is a great opportunity to get out and learn more about the Ozark Trail and the Adopt-A-Trail program.
