How to apply for NRT designation

Use the NRT logo to blaze your trail on land or paper

One of the most effective ways of highlighting your trail's status as a National Recreation Trail is to install colorful NRT logo signs right on the trail. The signs are available for a reasonable price in two convenient sizes. The logo may only be used on designated NRTs, and sale of the logo, or use of the logo, for the production of saleable materials, is prohibited without written authorization from the U. S. Department of the Interior. Download the sign order form.

NRT logoThe red, white and blue signs show the NRT logo on a white field, mounted on aluminum, with four corner holes for mounting. Two sizes are available: small (3.5" x 3.5") or large (8" X 8"). The NRT logo can also be combined with your own artwork on a trail head display, on a trail-side sign, or in maps and publications. Contact American Trails for information on obtaining the artwork.

If you would like to add a National Recreation Trail logo to your trail's Website, you are welcome to copy it from the NRT website. It's available in colorful red, white, and blue. To copy the logo while you are browsing the NRT website, simply move your cursor over the logo, hold down the mouse button, and select "Save this image as..." or a similar prompt depending on your browser. Be sure to link the logo or the words "National Recreation Trail" in your text to our Website internet address at http://www.AmericanTrails.org/NationalRecreationTrails.

You may copy the logo directly from the Web site. A larger version is on the NRT home page and a smaller one may be found on the application information page. Again, the logo may only be used for the Web site of a designated NRT, or to promote the NRT program.

If you have questions on the Web logos, please contact Stuart Macdonald. For the aluminum signs, download the order form. We hope you will take advantage of these opportunities to show the world that your trail is one of America's great trails! For more information call American Trails at (530) 547-2060 or send e-mail.
