7.7 Trail Access and Usage

As a general guideline for local trails, the target population should be less than 5 miles from the trail and 1 mile if the group is an older population. For regional trails, people may be willing to travel 15 or more miles to use a greenway trail. Accommodate multiple modes of travel but consider separating conflicting use (e.g., biking and horseback riding).
