Until now guidelines for non-motorized trail planning, design, construction,
and management were located in a multitude of publications. Recognizing the need
for a comprehensive source of information, the Pennsylvania Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources hired Pashek Associates to write guidelines
for the design and development of all non-motorized trails.
In Pennsylvania Trail Design & Development Principles: Guidelines for
Sustainable, Non-motorized Trails,
written by John Buerkle of Pashek Associates, you will find a compilation of
best practices and guidelines for the planning, design, construction,
operation, and maintenance of your trail. Equally important, it presents
techniques for developing trails that are environmentally, physically, and
economically sustainable, as well as techniques to create desirable and
enjoyable trail experiences.
This comprehensive reference provides trail advocates, agencies,
organizations, local and regional officials, and decision-makers with the basic
knowledge required to understand any trail project they are about to undertake.
The
Guidelines are presented in five chapters:
- Chapter 1: Planning
- Chapter 2: User Characteristics & Design Requirements for Non-Motorized Trails
- Chapter 3: Design Requirements for Sustainable Trails
- Chapter 4: Construction
- Chapter 5: Management

these guidelines valuable as you embark on your next trail project!
