Established: March 5, 1980. Description:Conceived in the mid-1960s, this trail links upstate New
York with the Missouri River in North Dakota. Trail journeys through a variety
of environments: the grandeur of the Adirondacks, Pennsylvania's hardwood
forests, the farmland and canals of Ohio, the Great Lakes shorelines of
Michigan, the glacier-carved forests, lakes, and streams of northern Wisconsin
and Minnesota, and the vast plains of North Dakota. Today more than half the
trail is open for public use. Some of the longer segments cross nine national
forests and two national park areas along the route.
Legth: 3,200 miles.
