The Great Trails State Plan<\/strong> is a\u00a0network of multi-use trails of statewide significance<\/strong> connecting North Carolina\u2019s counties and population centers with state parks and important recreational assets. It is founded upon extensive local and regional efforts to plan and build trails.<\/p>\n

What trails do you use and like most?\u00a0 What would make that experience better? What are the most important new trail connections that should be made?<\/p>\n

The N.C. Department of Transportation wants to hear from the public about North Carolina\u2019s trails and how to make them better.<\/p>\n

NCDOT recently collected more than 11,000 responses to a\u00a0public survey. The next step is to collect feedback on the statewide trails network plan draft.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n

\n

The public is encouraged to\u00a0review the maps and provide feedback on the Great Trails State network draft.\u00a0\u200b\u200bAll comments are\u00a0due by Friday, Dec. 4, 2020<\/strong>.\u200b\u200b\u00a0\u200b<\/p>\n
