Old Dominion Appalachian Trail Club

The Old Dominion Appalachian Trail Club (ODATC) is a trail maintenance club and a member of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC). Our mission is the construction and maintenance of foot trails for hikers, including that portion of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail between Reed's Gap and Rockfish Gap. We also provide excursions on this trail or in other areas and conduct educational activities related to the need for preserving areas suitable for outdoor recreation.

Club sponsored activities over the year include numerous opportunities for members and their guests to:

repair, maintain and relocate sections of the Club's 19.6 miles of trail
monitor plant and animal life along the trail corridor
hike and backpack on the AT and other trails in Virginia, other states, and, occasionally, other countries
canoe or kayak on Virginia's rivers
ski (downhill and cross country)
join with others on historic or cultural theme hikes
participate in group and family camping trips
meet and network with members of other ATC-affiliated clubs and organizations
