Washington State Trails Database Project

The Washington State Trails Database Project is developing a new data set to update the 2017 data, which was compiled through a collaborative project between RCO and the Washington State Office of the Chief Information Officer’s Geospatial Program Office. Through an RCO Nonhighway and Off-road Vehicle Activities Program grant, a team of editors have assembled an up-to-date trails database using the federal trails data standard as the framework.

How the Map Came to Be

In 2006, the Washington State Legislature asked that a statewide trails database be created for both land managers and the public. The cost kept the project dormant until 2013.

In 2014, the Office of the Chief Information Officer’s Geospatial Program Office began a pilot project with a small group of volunteers and students to design a spatial database following the federal trails data standard. The group received a small grant from RCO’s Nonhighway and Off-road Vehicle Activities program to support the data collection effort and a legislative appropriation in 2015.
