What is a rail- trail, and what does the Rails-To-Trails program do?
A rail-trail is a former railroad that has been converted to a trail for non-motorized recreational and transportation purposes such as hiking, biking, in-line skating, and cross-country skiing. The rails-to-trails program actively seeks partners in acquiring, constructing and maintaining the trail. The federal government has “banked” these abandoned lines, meaning that, if needed, the trails could be reverted back to active rail-lines. DCNR provides grants under it Rails-to-trails program to help nonprofit organizations develop rail-trails in their communities. For more information on DCNR’s involvement with rail-trails, visit the Rails-To-Trails home page Where can I get information on a specific rail-trail? The Rails-To-Trails Conservancy of Pennsylvania produces an annually-updated book that lists all the trails. It can be ordered by writing Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, Pennsylvania Field Office, 105 Locust St., Harrisburg PA 17101; calling (717) 238-1717, or e-mailing the conserva
