ill give you the trail and trip planning information you need to get outside and moving. TrailFinder offers a one-stop interactive gateway to 110 greenways, rail trails, canal trails, bikeways, and riverwalks located in every region of the state. You can find a trail by name or search by criteria such as length, allowable uses, surface, and distance from any location you choose.

Accessibility Info
For some trails you’ll also find accessibility information. Before ever reaching the trailhead, you will have the data you need to decide whether a trail is right for you. While especially useful for persons with disabilities, older adults and parents with young children may find this information helpful, too.
