7 RECREATIONAL TRAILS<br />
Recreational trails are defined in this document as any trail that is intended for recreational use only,<br />
<strong>and</strong> does not connect to transportation corridors, roads, transit facilities, or shopping <strong>and</strong><br />
employment centers, <strong>and</strong> are therefore not eligible for federal transportation funding. Such projects<br />
are not included in this plan. Recreational trails are typically isolated <strong>and</strong> remote, <strong>and</strong> are usually<br />
located near special areas set aside for conservation purposes such as forests, farml<strong>and</strong>, watersheds,<br />
wetl<strong>and</strong>s, wildlife habitats, scenic vistas, geologic formations, <strong>and</strong> places of historic <strong>and</strong> cultural<br />
value. Recreational trails are typically multi-use, <strong>and</strong> may or may not be paved. These trails provide<br />
a wide variety of recreational opportunities for people of all ages <strong>and</strong> abilities with attractive, safe,<br />
<strong>and</strong> accessible places to walk, bike, hike, or ride horseback. It is important however, to note that<br />
recreation trails can be connected to transportation facilities in the future by preserving key right-ofway<br />
or open space for future use.<br />
