Celebrate the Power of Trails: Economic Impact and Exploration
On the fourth Saturday of April, we invited everyone outside for our annual celebration of America’s trails. This year, Celebrate Trails Day was more than a day outside—it was a day filled with joy, fun events and adventures on trails across the country, and big impact.
Join us and our partners as we explore the impact of spending time on trails, for annual observances like Celebrate Trails Day and in our day-to-day lives. During this conversation, we’ll discuss the ways trails enrich our lives and the places we live, work and play, with a focus on their role in supporting the economy.
Trails and other forms of active transportation infrastructure generate $34 billion in economic activity annually, and the outdoor recreation industry generates $1.2 trillion for the U.S. economy. From revitalizing towns to supporting local businesses and spurring tourism, trails and outdoor recreation provide a pathway to thriving, more resilient economy for communities nationwide.
