THE 480 CLUB
One trail. Approximately 480 miles. An opportunity to invest in every mile.
The 480 Club is an annual giving and recognition program of the Bayou State Trail Association, created around one simple idea:
Every Mile Matters.
With approximately 480 miles making up the Bayou State Trail, each 480 Club giving level represents an investment in the trail as a whole. Beginning with a $480 annual contribution, members can support the trail at a level representing $1 or more for every mile.
