The Old Dominion Appalachian Trail Club
The Old Dominion Appalachian Trail Club (ODATC) is an organization of individuals and trail-related organizations who meet to recreate in the outdoors in various ways as well as act as stewards of a portion of the Appalachian Trail and the public lands it runs through. Our recreational endeavors focus on hiking in Virginia but includes biking, paddling and touring as well. While the majority of our events occur in Virginia our only true limits are what members wish to limit themselves to. Learn more

THE ODATC EXPERIENCE - CURRENT ISSUES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
ODATC 2019 Konnarock ODATC will host the Konnarock Trail crew for three weeks this year in late May and early June. The project will be the reconstruction of the AT on the south approach to battery cliffs. This will be another cool rock project with grip hoists and sky lines :) Since the first and last days of the work weeks include set up and break down Konnarock would prefer not to have volunteers come out on those days. With that in mind, the volunteer dates for the 2019 Konnarock project are: May 26-28 June 6-7 June 14 and June 16 Saturday June 15 is our regularly scheduled trail maintenance day and many of the maintainers will be helping out that day. Email Dave Grimes (dvgrimes.54@gmail.com) if you are interested in helping out with the projects and he'll give you the details and pass your name onto the Konnarock folks.
