Over two years in development with 50 volunteers, Local Motion's new Trail Finder was unveiled on Earth Day.
The Trail Finder is a free online resource for 77 walking, biking, hiking, and mountain biking trails in Chittenden County. Residents and visitors can get maps and directions, learn about trail features, and submit comments and photos.
The Trail Finder is a partnership between 40 towns, trail groups and regional planning organizations. Tourism organizations will use this resource at welcome centers and in marketing materials. All partners are recognized at the bottom of every web page.
This first phase of the project has been funded by the VT Recreation Trails Program, Chittenden Co. Metropolitan Planning Org., Merchants Bank and Local Motion members. Special thanks to Pam Brangan at the CCRPC for her mapping expertise.
Phase Two Underway: Over the next year, we will be adding on-road cycling routes and expanding beyond Chittenden County. We are excited to announce that Skirack, one of Vermont's premier outdoor shops, has made a sizeable financial gift to fund the Trail Finder's expansion. Want to volunteer?

See the coverage in the Free Press, Seven Days and WCAX. Thank you to the volunteers, trail managers and funders who made this project possible!
