This feature maps hiking trails across the country, offering valuable insights for various user types, including developers, landowners, and outdoor enthusiasts.
About Hiking Trails
The hiking trails dataset, sourced primarily from the National Digital Trails Dataset from the US Geological Survey, is a comprehensive collection of trail data that covers various aspects of hiking trails across the United States. This dataset includes detailed information such as trail locations, lengths, and connections to other trails and recreational areas. The importance of this information lies in its ability to support outdoor recreation planning, land management, and public safety. By providing accurate and up-to-date trail data, it helps users find and navigate trails, promoting outdoor activities and enhancing the overall recreational experience.
