Join us to give our Blue Blazes Still an upgrade!
The Blue Blazes Whiskey Still trail is along the site of a 1929 raid on a robust moonshining operation. Today, a much smaller still takes its place along the Blue Blazes creek. This still provides our easiest get-away closest to the visitor center and a crossroads of our historic and natural environment. Blue Blazes may not make moonshine anymore, but it still is in our hearts. Help us give it some love this National Public Lands Day, from its trailhead to the exhibit area!
Volunteers will be working alongside Catoctin Mountain Park staff to remove and replace fencing along Visitor Center gravel parking lot and the Blue Blazes Still exhibit area.
Please bring plenty of water and food. Sunscreen and bugs spray recommended. Appropriate attire and closed toed shoes required. Tools, gloves, and PPE provided.
