Lincoln County Trails Days 2009 was a great success.

Join us for Trails Days 2010!

Lincoln County Trails Day 2009 was held on Saturday, September 26th, and Sunday, September 27th this year. Five-million acres of public land, six state parks, and two wildlife areas, welcomed visitors to Lincoln County. Just north of Las Vegas you’ll find a land like none other. We say it’s primitive and it is to some extent but not where it counts. We have Mother Nature’s greatest creations and you can drive them, ride them, hike them, bike them, or simply admire them. The trail starts in Lincoln County. Lincoln County is hosted its 6th annual Trails Day event, coinciding with National Public Lands Day on September 26. The Lincoln County Trails Coalition, in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Division of State Parks, and the Lincoln County Commissioners, planned a full line-up of events.
