National Recreation Trails are designated pathways that provide outdoor recreational opportunities for the public. These trails can be found in various settings, including forests, parks, and urban areas, and are often used for activities like hiking, biking, and horseback riding. They are recognized for their scenic beauty and accessibility, promoting healthy lifestyles and environmental stewardship. The National Recreation Trails program is managed by the National Park Service in collaboration with other federal, state, and local agencies. Trails that meet specific criteria can be officially designated, helping to raise awareness and encourage their use among communities and visitors alike.
