Trail workday planned at Mark Twain State Park for Saturday

STOUTSVILLE, Mo. — The team at Mark Twain State Park invites the public to join them for a volunteer workday starting at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, March 15. Participants will help build a new trail in the 107 Recreation Area.

The new Ben Sapp Memorial Trail will be a 1.1-mile hiking-only trail that traverses woodlands and prairie features. The team needs help clearing the corridor in the wooded areas, cutting and moving brush and trees, bench-cutting and leveling trail surface, marking the trail path and removing trip hazards. Volunteer by yourself, with your family and friends or with a group or organization. Volunteers should bring water, lunch and work gloves.

Meet at the 107 Boat Ramp Parking Lot at 8:30 a.m. Contact Amelia Klenke at 573-248-9986 for more information and for driving directions if needed. The 107 Boat Ramp is on Mark Twain Lake near Stoutsville.
