Year of the Trail

 

North Carolina is the Great Trails State, where each of our 100 counties enjoys the proven benefits of trails, including health, safety, economic development, tourism, transportation, and environment.  2023 is the NC Year of the Trail, meant to celebrate North Carolina’s vast network of trails, greenways, and blueways which showcase our diverse landscapes.
