Trails continue to be one of the most sought-after outdoor experiences in communities across Pennsylvania.
The Commonwealth’s vision is to develop a statewide land and water trail network that facilitates recreation, transportation, and healthy lifestyles for all.
DCNR remains committed to ensuring there is a trail within 10 minutes of everyone in Pennsylvania, and this plan outlines strategies—such as closing Priority Trail Gaps—to make that vision a reality.
The plan is built around four key goals and 26 action items that reflect current trail needs, challenges, and opportunities.
Visit DCNR’s Land and Water Trail Development webpage to download the Plan and for more information.
Visit DCNR’s Conservation Education Opportunities webpage for more on programs and opportunities for people of all ages in all regions.
