This dataset contains publicly shareable line‑based trail features for National Park Service (NPS) units across the United States. It represents a filtered, non‑sensitive subset of the official NPS Trails dataset used for mapping, visitor information, recreation planning, navigation, and general public access. Features include established hiking trails, walking paths, multi‑use routes, and other publicly accessible trail segments appropriate for public release.
Sensitive, internal‑use, restricted, or operationally controlled trail features have been removed. The dataset is updated periodically using information provided by park units and regional GIS programs. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The National Park Service public Trails dataset provides geographic representations of publicly accessible trail routes across NPS units. These line features depict official visitor‑use trails, including hiking paths, walking routes, nature trails, multi‑use corridors, and other designated public routes commonly used for navigation, recreation planning, mapping, and interpretive information.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This dataset is derived from the authoritative internal NPS Trails dataset maintained by park units and regional GIS programs. Only features appropriate for public distribution are included; restricted, administrative, resource‑sensitive, or non‑public trail segments have been removed. All spatial features are stored in NAD83 and undergo review prior to release.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The dataset supports a wide range of public uses, including digital maps, trip planning applications, recreation tools, research, and cartographic products. It provides a consistent, nationwide representation of visitor‑oriented trail networks across the National Park Service.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
