🌲💪 Teamwork brought Lake Norman State Park trails back to life after the storm—read on for the full story!

After Hurricane Helene, the Park stepped up as a staging area for storm relief efforts, serving as a base to deploy supplies and aid throughout the state. At that time, the park closed its gates to the public to focus on essential recovery operations and support storm relief.

Lake Norman State Park’s 30+ miles of mountain bike trails—one of the largest trail systems in the area— was also affected and required major cleanup to get ready for riders again. That’s a lot of ground to cover, and a big commitment to maintain, especially after a storm of this magnitude! Helene left the trails impacted by downed trees, erosion, and uprooted sections. 
During the closure, Tarheel Trailblazers volunteers stepped in, clearing dozens of downed trees with hand saws along with tackling other trail repairs. The @ncstateparks staff handled the heavy lifting, clearing over 20 massive trees with chainsaws to help meet the reopening target of November 1st! 🙌 
A HUGE thank you to the NC State Parks staff! Special shoutout to LNSP trail coordinator, @trillwill03 , for organizing and leading workdays, and to the Tarheel Trailblazer Volunteers who dedicated their time and hard work to this effort! 
Next time you see Park Staff or volunteers out at Lake Norman, please give them a BIG thank you for their dedication to keeping these 30+ miles of trails accessible! 🪚💪 
It’s official - Lake Norman State Park, and the trails, are open again!

Nothing like a haunted run and enduro race to get into the Halloween spirit! 🎃 This past weekend’s Fisher Fest brought out the ghouls, goblins, and wild costumes—on foot and two wheels. From creative costumes to some serious race vibes, we had a blast celebrating the season. Happy Halloween from the Tarheel Trailblazers! 👻
