The mission of the non-profit Elkin Valley Trails Association (EVTA) is to enrich the quality of life in the region by building and promoting a network of multiuse trails.
Our vision- while observing and promoting leave no trace principles, these hiking, biking, running, paddling, and equestrian trails will promote a healthy lifestyle, provide educational and economic opportunities, preserve our history, and allow for organized events.
Elkin is located in the heart of the beautiful Yadkin Valley wine growing region and is in a unique location to be a hub for local trails. We are in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, less than half an hour from Stone Mountain State Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are at the confluence of the Overmountain Victory Trail, the Yadkin River Trail Blueway, and the beginnings of our big project, the E&A Rail-Trail, which will ultimately be the Mountains-to-Sea Trail between Stone Mountain State Park and Elkin/Jonesville and Pilot Mountain State Park. We love the trails in the Elkin Valley, and are considered a “Trail Town.”
