National Recreation Trails


National recreation trails recognize existing trails that connect people to local resources and improve their quality of life. Applications are based on diverse partnerships, and more than 900 trails have already been designated on federal, state, local, and privately owned land throughout the country. Benefits of NRT designation include access to technical assistance from nrt program partners and funding opportunities, as well as inclusion in the online NRT database.

For more information about the NRT program, including benefits and application criteria, please visit the NRTweb site hosted by American Trails, our lead non-profit partner for this program or contact the NRT Coordinator at 202-354-6900. You may download the NRT application form and program brouchure using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
