Join 7 Lakes Alliance in maintaining one of our newest trails, the Lambert Trail on the Quill Hill Trail System. This trail is steep in places, and work will focus on creating a more sustainable grade for the trail, and installing erosion resistant rock steps where needed.
Driving Directions to Trailhead: We will meet at the Quill Hill Trailhead on Drury Lane in Rome. From Route 225, turn south down Drury Lane and the look for a blue “Quill Hill” sign on your left.
