The Ecusta Trail Partners Program is a collaboration between Henderson County and entities along the Ecusta Trail to volunteer amenities, such as parking and restrooms, in exchange for free marketing on official Ecusta Trail materials. Although amenities will eventually be built along the trail, they will not be available when the trail opens. The County is counting on the assistance of local businesses and property owners to provide amenities during this time. 

In addition to the Hendersonville Welcome Center Trailhead, six businesses have volunteered parking or other amenities. (Sideways Farm & Brewery is located on the yet-to-be constructed Ecusta West section of the trail.)

Patronage of these businesses is very much appreciated for their generosity in offering these amenities free of charge for Ecusta Trail users.
