Support the BRVTA

The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association maintains seven recreational trails and sponsors over 20 guided hikes each year, giving residents of all ages and fitness levels the opportunity to enjoy the area’s natural beauty. 

The Bayfield Trails are managed entirely by volunteers and are paid for by community donations and annual memberships from people like YOU!

Your membership contribution allows our volunteers to keep the trails open, covering expenses such as materials and tools, programming, training, signage and insurance. 

As a member you will receive invitations to participate in all organized hikes, as well as an opportunity to join the hiking buddy program. You will also receive invitations to the Columbia Sportswear discount store and the monthly electronic newsletter. Best of all, you'll be helping us keep the trails open for everyone, every day of the year.

Individual membership $20.00/year  –  Family Membership $30.00/year
