Our Stewards

A Trail Community

The Bay Circuit Trail would be nothing more than a dream without the dedication of all of the land managers, town officials, and volunteers that keep this trail system thriving

For Trail Maintainers

The Appalachian Mountain Club advises and assists BCT trail maintainers toward our common goal of a trail that is easy to follow, safe, and fun to explore.

Let us help you by providing any support you may need to maintain your section of the BCT

What We Provide

  • Round 4” aluminum BCT medallions for trail-marking and aluminum nails
  • Help and advice in evaluating, marking, and maintaining the trail
  • Advice to correct trail problems and support for complex projects
  • Clearinghouse for updated maps and written guides
  • Map signs for areas where blazes are not permitted
  • Directional signs where the trail splits, has an alternate route, or has a spur
