Nevada Seeks Public Input for First-Ever Statewide Trails Plan
Help shape the future of trails and outdoor recreation across the state.
CARSON CITY, Nev. – The Nevada Division of State Parks, in partnership with the Nevada
Division of Outdoor Recreation, invites the public to help shape the future of trails across the
state by participating in an online survey for Nevada’s first-ever Statewide Trails Plan.
The plan will help guide the future of trail development, access and management throughout
Nevada, and support a wide range of recreational activities like hiking, mountain biking,
horseback riding, and off-highway vehicle (OHV) use. Public input will help identify
opportunities to connect communities, improve existing trails, expand recreational access and
protect Nevada’s natural resources.
Through the survey, participants can share how they use Nevada’s trails, what improvements
they would like to see and where additional trail connections and recreational opportunities may
be needed.
“Trails connect communities, create opportunities for people to explore Nevada’s public lands,
and provide access to the outdoors for people of all abilities and interests,” said Janice Keillor,
Deputy Administrator for Nevada State Parks. “This plan is an opportunity to look at how we
can build a more connected trail system that serves Nevadans and visitors for generations to
come.”
“Trails are a cornerstone of Nevada’s outdoor recreation experience, supporting local economies
and allowing visitors to experience the incredible diversity of our state’s landscapes,” said
Denise Beronio, Administrator for the Nevada Division of Outdoor Recreation. “A
statewide plan will help us better understand the needs of trail users, identify future
opportunities, and ensure Nevada continues to offer world class outdoor recreation experiences.”
The survey is open through November 30, 2026. Residents and visitors can participate using

The Nevada Division of State Parks plans, develops and maintains a system of parks and recreation areas for the
use and enjoyment of more than 4 million visitors a year. The division was established in 1963 by the Nevada
Legislature to form a new state park agency within the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The
division manages and maintains 28 parks, historic sites and recreation areas in Nevada.
The Nevada Division of Outdoor Recreation is dedicated to ensuring that Nevada’s natural landscapes, parks, and
recreational areas are accessible and sustainable for the enjoyment of current and future generations. We strive to foster a
deep connection between the community and the outdoors, supporting outdoor education, conservation efforts, and
sustainable recreation initiatives. By working collaboratively with local governments, organizations, and the public, we aim
to inspire a passion for outdoor activities and stewardship across the Silver State.
