As the leading trail organization in the region, The Trail Conference helps public agencies provide safe and responsible public access to open space stretching from the Delaware Water Gap north to beyond the Catskills. And we do it all with volunteers!
Trail Access
We build and maintain 1,700-mile
network of hiking trails serving
a major metropolitan area.
Trail Information
We publish the most authoritative trail maps and regional hiking books; promote environmental
conservation, responsible
use of the backcountry
and trail etiquette.
Trail Stewardship
We monitor the ecological
integrity of trail lands and
minimize the ecological
impacts of recreational use.
Trail Protection
We advocate for open space and trails and the conservation of protected corridors to link public parks and preserves in the region.

We connect people with nature
through hiking and active
volunteering.
Trail Partnerships

strengthen the region’s
