Since 1998 TrailArts has assisted the public and private sectors with planning, construction, and management of shared-use trails that maximize user satisfaction while minimizing impacts to the surrounding environment. TrailArts has performed consulting, planning, and construction on over 400 miles of natural-surface shared-use hiking, mountain bike, motorized, and equestrian trails throughout the United States. Our clients include contractors, municipalities, county agencies, state agencies, non-profit organizations, private landowners, and federal agencies. Our mission is to promote and advocate the development of natural surface recreational trails that are cost-effective and sustainable, minimize human impacts to the environment, and provide enjoyable facilities for the trail user. We believe our reputation as a leader in the trail industry is due to this unwavering vision, our unique understanding of the needs of the trail user and land manager, and an appreciation and respect for the artistry of Mother Nature.
