NORTH CAROLINA IS THE GREAT TRAILS STATE

North Carolina is home to a trail for everyone, whether you’re a biker, hiker, paddler, or rider. For those who love to wander, explore, or commute, these paths offer a place for adventure, connection, and reflection. They link us to the heart of our state, from its rich, winding history to its bright future. Together, we create and care for these trails, those who’ve lived here for generations and those drawn by the promise of the Great Trail State. On these trails, we lead and follow, walk alone and build community. We discover new purpose, year after year. North Carolina’s trails are for all of us. Let’s enjoy, sustain, and champion them. This is our year. The Year of the Trail.
