What Trail Association of the McKean Elk Divide does
Mission
This trail group has formed to actively promote the development of trails in the region of the Mckean/Elk County line. We will engage in the design, funding, construction, mapping and maintenance of a network of multi-purpose, non-motorized (hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing) trails and trailheads within this area of the Pennsylvania Wilds region. We view the former Knox/Kane railroad grade as the main artery for this trail network. The Association believes in creating these opportunities to promote outdoor recreation and physical fitness, as well as preserving areas of natural or historical significance, and educating trail users about these features.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $36k to $24k (−33%).
