The Big Dig Day is a volunteer trail-building and maintenance event on the Western Slope of Massanutten.
It’s more than a volunteer workday—it’s a fun, family-friendly day in the woods with friends old and new. As a bonus, you can complete the volunteer hours required for your annual Western Slope trail pass in a single day!
No prior trail-building experience is necessary. We’ll provide on-site training and instruction so everyone can work safely, confidently, and effectively.

• What: A day of trail work and community as we improve and celebrate the Western Slope trails
• Where: Massanutten’s Western Slope near Keezletown. Meet at the pavilion.
• Parking: Use the main parking lot or the field near the pavilion.
• When: Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
• What to wear: Sturdy, closed-toe shoes and long pants
• What to bring: Work gloves, plenty of water, and clothing appropriate for the weather

We’ll gather at the pavilion at 11:00 a.m. to review the day’s plan, then divide into groups and head to our project sites.
At 2:30 p.m., we’ll meet back at the pavilion for burgers, drinks, snacks, and time to hang out together.

RSVPs are required. Please RSVP HERE so we have an accurate headcount for food, drinks, work groups, and a few thank-you gifts. Registered volunteers will receive email updates with final details before the event.
