Standing Boy

Our Story

In the early 2000s, the Standing Boy property was transferred to the Department of Natural Resources as part of a larger effort to preserve natural areas along the Chattahoochee River. Initially intended to become a State Park, funding issues led to its designation as an interim wildlife management area. In 2017, local community members, led by Blake Melton, formed Standing Boy, Inc. to build and manage trails. Since then, SBI has raised significant funds through community donations and volunteer efforts, constructing nearly 30 miles of trails for outdoor recreational activities.

Our Impact

The Standing Boy Trails have been constructed with over $2.5 million in private donations and thousands of volunteer hours, providing nearly 30 miles of natural surface trails for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. This initiative enhances outdoor recreational opportunities in the region.

Why Donate?

Donations to Standing Boy, Inc. support the completion and maintenance of the trails, vital for promoting outdoor activities, community health, and environmental stewardship. Every dollar raised is matched by a grant, doubling the impact of contributions.
