South Sound.
Pierce County's chapter — focused local support for the South Sound's growing trail network.
01 / Regional Overview
Who we are.
The South Sound chapter serves Pierce County — one of Washington's fastest-growing riding regions. The chapter provides dedicated local support for Swan Creek, Tehaleh, Dash Point, and the trails connecting them.
As a newer chapter, South Sound is focused on building the volunteer base, establishing partnerships with Pierce County Parks, and laying the groundwork for sustained trail development.
Work parties run regularly throughout the season, with the chapter growing its community of riders and builders.
