General participation is for individuals and families wanting to support our Eastern Shore Trails, to receive ongoing information about activities on the Eastern Shore, to go to points of interest via the trail, to receive our seasonal newsletters, and to participate in fund raising events for the "Trailblazer Organization".
Just in time for spring, cyclists, joggers and walkers can now enjoy the final lap of the Point Clear trail. Work was completed in February on the portion of the trail following Scenic Highway 98 from the Grand Hotel Marriott Resort, Golf Club and Spa south to County Road 32. As the last link in the trail, The Trailblazers hope to build a bridge crossing the creek on the East side of Scenic 98 that will connect the Jill Hall trail to the newly opened section.
