Trail Planning

Trail planning involves designing and creating pathways for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or horseback riding. It includes assessing the terrain, environmental impact, and user needs to establish a sustainable route that minimizes ecological disturbance while providing safe, enjoyable access. The process considers factors such as land ownership, trail difficulty, and drainage. Effective trail planning ensures durability, safety, and preservation of natural resources, balancing recreation with environmental stewardship. It often involves collaboration among planners, environmental experts, and community stakeholders to develop a thoughtful and well-constructed trail system.
