WV Trail Inventory

The WV GIS Technical Center at West Virginia University and Rahall Transportation Institute at Marshall University are being funded by the WV Division of Highways to inventory, collect, attribute, and integrate all publicly accessible recreational trails in West Virginia. This effort to create a comprehensive statewide trails database is being coordinated by the Division of Highway's State Trails Program (Bill Robinson & Ryan Burns) and GIS Section Head (Hussein Elkhansa).

If you are a trail stakeholder we would like for you to review our collection efforts and let us know if we have missed any publicly accessible trails, or if any of the trails have incorrect trail attributes or contact information. We are also interested in collecting major parking access locations and land boundaries of trails systems that are not in the State Trails Database.
