STEPHEN F. AUSTIN STATE PARK: Trail building work continues at SFA.
Approximately 4 miles of trail has been built. Multiple bridge structures have

flagged for construction. We need more volunteers to help make this new trail
system a reality. Keep your eyes open for the next work day...people are
working multiple weekends each month.
