Spring Spotlight

It's time to hit the trails!

Join us on Saturday, April 13, for the nation’s seventh annual Opening Day for Trails! There’s no better way to kick off the spring trail season than by exploring America’s amazing pathways. This year, the Knox County Park District will be hosting a fun day of family-filled activities at the CA&C Depot in Mount Vernon. The event will take place from 9 am - 4 pm. Bring your bike or walking shoes - we hope to see you there!
