The Friends of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail (DRHT) need Your Support! Posted by kinggeorgewebmaster (2008/4/9)

The Friends of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail (DRHT) is an organization of trail supporters who want to see the DRHT protected for future generations. This volunteer group of citizens is working toward the completion of the proposed DRHT rail trail, first as a private-use (permit required) trail pending King George Board of Supervisor support for the project, and then as a public-access rail trail. They are active in planning, design, construction and maintenance of the rail trail, membership and fundraising activities and in publicly promoting and supporting the rail trail.

Their intention is to provide the residents of King George county and surrounding communities with a handicapped-accessible recreational trail for non-motorized activities such as cycling, hiking, running, skiing and horse-back riding, while at the same time promoting and preserving the natural and historic aspects of the rail trail. The rail trail will also serve to connect neighborhoods and provide an alternative to using roadways.

You can support the The Friends of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail (DRHT) by visiting their web site and makine a donation or offering your support. See Friends of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail website
