Be a Part of the Movement to Complete the Great American Rail-Trail
This is America’s trail. It will take all of us working together through advocacy, volunteerism, and fundraising to make it a reality. We need to make our voices heard in our communities, our states and at the federal level, sharing our enthusiasm for the Great American Rail-Trail. Join RTC as we work with hundreds of partners across the country to connect these trails and complete this vision.
Together, we can bring the Great American Rail-Trail to life.
The Great American Rail-Trail won’t be completed overnight, and it won’t be completed without the help of trail lovers across the country.
“[The Great American Rail-Trail] speaks to people in lots of different ways, and at a time when people are looking for and craving more connections to each other and to the places they live.”
—Liz Thorstensen, RTC Vice President of Trail Development, Rails to Trails Magazine, Spring/Summer 2019
Support the Trails That Make the Great American Possible
The Great American Rail-Trail would not be possible without 150+ existing trails across the country that host the preferred route between Washington, D.C., and Washington State.
Ensuring these trails continue to thrive requires ongoing support from state and local officials, participation from local volunteers and funding support through individual donations.
