Orange County releases Interactive Trails and Greenways map

Graphic of map of county parksGetting outside and enjoying the many beautiful trails in Orange County has been made easier. Orange County, in collaboration with the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough, North Carolina State Parks, North Carolina Botanical Garden, the University of North Carolina, Classic American Homes, Eno River Association, and Triangle Land Conservancy, has created an interactive trails and greenway map. The map can be found here.

The map will allow users to search for trails within Orange County based on several different criteria defined by the user. The map includes data for each trail including the length, difficulty rating and surface type.

This project is a companion to the interactive Parks Locator Map that can be used to locate all parks in Orange County and search for parks and recreation facilities by amenities.
