We’re All Children of Mother Nature

For those looking to share in exploration and of the great outdoors, the Woodside Trail Group offers a like-minded expedition club of over 180 nature enthusiasts who organize to explore trails as far as the Midlands area, as well as work parties to maintain the extensive 21-mile system of trails within Woodside.

Since the group’s formation in 2008, members have made critical contributions to improving Woodside’s overall trail conditions, including defining existing trails, marking paths with signs, and blazing trees so that our residents can more easily follow routes.
