New website for state trails

A new N.C. Trails website has launched, providing a hub for the N.C. Trails Program and offering quick and easy access to information on state trails, as well as guidance for funding, creating and maintaining a trail. 

The site will be updated regularly with trail development news, project updates, volunteer and funding opportunities, milestones and events. Users can plan hikes, learn how to get a trail segment designated and explore expert tips on managing existing trail segments. 

Previously, all trails information was housed on the main N.C. State Parks website. The new site was developed due to increased demand for more detailed and accessible trail-specific information. 

Visit the site at www.trails.nc.gov

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
