Harpeth River State Park To Host Meetings on Proposed Recreational Trails Program Grant

Monday, March 02, 2026 | 10:40am

Harpeth River State Park will hold two public meetings in March – one virtual and one in-person – seeking input from the public before the park applies for a grant from the Recreational Trails Program.

The virtual meeting will be March 11 at 1 p.m CT. The in-person meeting will be March 12 at 6 p.m. CT.

Note: The Harpeth River State Park meeting will be held at Montgomery Bell State Park in Burns.

The RTP program is a federally funded, state administered grant program that provides grant funding for land acquisition for trails, non-routine trail maintenance, trail construction, trail rehabilitation, and trailhead support facilities. The Office of Outdoor Recreation administers the RTP grants in Tennessee. Anyone interested may attend the meetings.
