Pennsylvania Trails Advisory Committee

The Pennsylvania Trails Advisory Committee is a voluntary 20-member, DCNR-appointed committee that represents both motorized and non-motorized trail users; and advises the commonwealth about the use of state and federal trail funding.

The committee is charged with implementing the development of a statewide land and water trail network to facilitate recreation, transportation, and healthy lifestyles for all based on recommendations from the:

• Pennsylvania Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (PDF)
• Pennsylvania Land and Water Trail Network Strategic Plan (PDF)

The committee also fulfills the federal requirement for Pennsylvania’s use of federal Recreational Trails Program funds and is administered by DCNR’s Bureau of Recreation and Conservation.

The commonwealth is committed to creating a culture of diversity and inclusion. DCNR will strive for a balance of diversity and composition of the committee among geographical areas of the state.
