Fall Creek Falls State Park To Host Public Meetings on Proposed Recreational Trails Program Grant

Fall Creek Falls State Park will hold two public meetings in March - one virtual and one in-person - seeking input from the public before the park applies for a grant from the Recreational Trails Program.

The in-person meeting will be March 10 at 5:30 p.m. CT, the virtual meeting March 12 at 1 p.m. CT.

The RTP program is a federally funded, state administered grant program that provides grant funding for land acquisition for trails, non-routine trail maintenance, trail construction, trail rehabilitation, and trailhead support facilities. The Office of Outdoor Recreation administers the RTP grants in Tennessee. Anyone interested may attend the meetings.
