Maps & plans

Maps

The mission of the Evansville Trails Coalition is to connect people and places, to promote active lifestyles, and to advocate for the development of multi-use trails. We have compiled pedestrian and bicycle routes & maps within the Evansville area and listed them here, so that you, Evansville's trailblazers, will have access to the resources already developed by businesses, nonprofit organizations and individuals.

Our goal is to be Evansville's resource for maps and trails information, to bring awareness regarding the resources we currently have as a community and to identify and advocate for the completion of vital segments within our greenway and existing pedestrian and bicycle networks. Full connectivity is the goal and the desired end result! If you know of a walking map, or bike route not listed, please share it with us.
