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.

• 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
