Recreation Trails (NRTs) provide
for numerous outdoor recreation activities
in a variety of urban, rural, and
remote areas. Over 1,000 trails in
all 50 states,
available for public use and ranging
from less than a mile to 485 miles
in length, have been designated as
NRTs on federal, state, municipal,
and privately owned lands. The NRT
on-line database includes information
on most designated trails. American
Trails is working with the National
Park Service, the USDA
Forest Service, the Bureau
of Land Management, and the US
Fish and Wildlife Service on the
National Recreation Trails Program.
Trails may be nominated
for NRT designation each year.
