Construction and Design 

Town, county, and state governments collaborated on the construction of a four-season trailhead along the North Eastern State Trail, which is open to snowmobiles in the win- ter, that extends from Alpena to Cheboygan, Michigan. The facility provides parking, restrooms, picnic tables, and inter- pretive signs in a covered shelter.

Education and Communication  State Parks Trail Book (Missouri)

In 2012 Missouri State Parks took on the project of creating a guide to help visitors who want to explore the nearly 1,000 miles of trails in Missouri’s state parks and historic sites. An RTP grant funded the creation of “Trails of Missouri State Parks.” The 422-page, full-color book describes and maps trails in 58 state parks and historic sites.

Environment and Wildlife Compatibility 

Fishing enthusiasts from all over the world come to New Mexico to fish the waters of the San Juan River below Navajo Dam. The trail that descends steeply to the wetlands and the river below had become significantly eroded. This project improved the safety and sustainability of the trail with more than 2,000 modular retaining wall blocks and 43 pre-formed concrete steps installed by hand.

Sawyer Trail Project in Louisiana

Multiple-Use Management and Corridor Sharing  

RTP funds were used to construct an 85-foot fiberglass hiking bridge connecting the 300-mile Mid State Trail in Loysburg, Pennsylvania. The new bridge provides a safe span over Yellow Creek. It replaces a 100-year-old wire and wood “swinging bridge” that had become unsafe after suffering from years of flooding and nature’s other elements.
