Congrats to Flint Hills Trail State Park
The Flint Hills Trail State Park in Kansas will be the newest member of the organization’s Hall of Fame after receiving over 80% of the public vote.

Latest Inductee | Hall of Fame Trails
In 2007, RTC began recognizing exemplary rail-trails around the country through its Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame trails have been selected based on merits such as scenic value, high use, trail and trailside amenities, historical significance, accessibility, excellence in management and maintenance of facility, community connections and geographic distribution. In 2023, eligibility for the Hall of Fame expanded to include greenways, towpaths, rails-with-trails and all other types of multiuse trails, with an emphasis on those that deliver the accessibility and trail use experience to be expected by a rail-trail and priority given to trails that contribute to the connectivity of regional trail and active transportation systems.
Trails inducted into the Hall of Fame receive a variety of honors, including special signage to place along their trails, a Trail of the Month feature and a highlight in Rails to Trails magazine. View a list of Hall of Fame trails.
