Regional trails differ from local trails in that they are usually larger in scope – crossing neighborhood lines and linking cities, counties and even states. As excellent places for hikers, walkers, runners, cyclists, and paddlers to exercise and experience nature, regional trails are destinations unto themselves – but they also take us from the places we live to the places we learn, work, shop and play.
Regional trails are typically separated from roads. Their off-street nature make trails more pleasant for recreational users by reducing interactions with car traffic, which also make them quicker routes for pedestrian and bike commuters. |
