Current Projects:

We're hard at work developing a new, 5-mile trail for daily public use that will connect to the 5 Points Mountain Biking area.

This is where we need your help, and you can make a difference without leaving your home! By donating $15 for 15 feet of trail work , you can help us complete the first mile of trail that will connect to 5 Points. Take a look at this video to see where your $15 will be going... and where your next adventure awaits!

Lula Lake Land Trust (LLLT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established by the will of Robert M. Davenport in January of 1994. Dedicated to the preservation of lands located within the Rock Creek watershed on Lookout Mountain, the mission of LLLT is to preserve the natural and historic landscapes surrounding Rock Creek and its tributaries through conservation, education, and low-impact recreation.

The Moonshine Trails consist of 8 miles of adventure, and the 14-mile Cloudland Connector Trail is straightforward and ideal for both beginners as well as runners, hikers, and mountain bikers...
