Become a part of the regional network of individuals, families, clubs, and businesses that share your passion for hiking, biking, dog walking, running, snowshoeing and skiing and want access to more and better shared use trails.

What would we do without trails?
Great trails are central to enjoying nature and your individual sports. Yet, our favorite riding, walking, running, and hiking areas face real and serious threats. Closures have already forced many outdoor enthusiasts off traditional trails.

If you've ever been confronted by a sign that reads "NO TRESPASSING" or "TRAIL CLOSED," then you know why the work of HPT is so vital. We are dedicated to preserving and expanding Shared-Use Trails and we need your help. 

Strength is achieved in numbers and by becoming a member of HPT you are showing support for shared use trails in our community.  Your tax-deductible membership contribution makes it possible for you, your family, your friends and neighbors to enjoy using the trails for many years to come. 

So join the Human Powered Trails team and support ongoing volunteer efforts in construction and maintenance of shared-use trails for hiking, biking, running, and cross-country skiing in the La Crosse area.
