Get Involved!
Over the course of this planning effort, there has been a variety of ways for the public to participate and be involved in the decision making regarding future trail connections. Below are some of the ways in which the public was able to participate in the crating of this four-county plan.
Interactive wiki Trail-Maker Map (Now Closed) Have an idea for a new trail route which is needed in your area? Help us by contributing thoughts via our new interactive wikimap, where you can add desired new trail routes, identify missing trails which already exist, or adding points of interest that trail users should know about. You can even upload photos of places for discussion. Stakeholder Meetings We have completed hosting stakeholder meetings in Saratoga, Rensselaer, Albany and Schenectady counties. Thank you to everyone who attended! We obtained a lot of useful ideas and are currently reviewing all of the input to begin developing ideas for the Trail Plan. Public Survey (Now Closed) Thank you for participating in the Online Survey. The survey is now closed. We will be tabulating the results and will post them here in the coming weeks. Email Signup

Interactive Wiki Trail-Maker MapAn interactive Trail-Maker Map allows you to add desired new trail routes or notes points of interest to a map of your area. This map was helpful in allowing us to collect ideas from the public, even if they could not attend an in-person meeting. Although the wiki-map is now closed, you can still visit it to see how it works.
