Status of the Nationwide Digital Trails Dataset
The nationwide digital trails dataset is now up to 270,000 miles. Since the last newsletter we added trails data from three state sources.
Since the last newsletter we added trails data from three state sources: Maryland DNR (1,295 miles), South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks (648 miles), Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (7,002 miles). The nationwide digital trails dataset is now up to 270,000 miles thanks to our state partners! The dataset includes trails from four federal agencies, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and 32 states. The four federal agencies include Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and U.S. Forest Service. The table below details current state data contributors. Visit Trails Explorer to see the most current trails dataset.
NOTE: If you manage an authoritative public domain trail dataset that you think should be included in the nationwide dataset, please contact trails@usgs.gov.
