Info wanted on trail *networks* -- eg Colorado, etc.

[Matt O'Toole]

I'm looking for info on trail networks around the country, such as in
Colorado where many towns are connected by bike paths. If
there are any other areas I should be aware of, please let me know. This
is research for a PR campaign for a statewide VA trail network.

Of course I'm well aware of the major sources like Rails-to-Trails, etc.

Thanks!

Matt O.

Wisconsin, where the Sparta-Elroy Trail has a remarkable press agent.

Michigan is developing a trail network, but we need some tunnels on the
rail routes.

http://www.dot.state.co.us/bikeped/

www.bicyclecolo.org

are two places to start in Colorado. Summit and Eagle Counties have
extensive bike path networks, an updated bike path/trail guide to Summit
County is published every summer. The Summit Daily News
(http://www.summitdaily.com/) had an online version of the bike guide last
summer on their website, can't find it now. The guide gets updated every
spring/summer, so maybe the Summit Daily News can send you an old hard copy.

The CDOT (Colorado Dep't of Transportation) Bicycle Pedestrian program
publishes the Colorado Bicycling Map.
