In 2009 a few Lopez trail enthusiasts got together to explore the possibility of expanding hiking, biking and horseback riding opportunities on the island. The Lopez Community Trails Network, now with more than 600 members, was born. To get the public involved, we developed our annual Walkabout, and it has become LCTN’s signature event. The Walkabout is two-day hike the full length of Lopez, and involves coordinating public and private landowners. Throughout the year LCTN members are called upon by several public agencies, to help build new trails and maintain existing trails.
