Maps

Our goal is to be Evansville's resource for trails maps and information, to build awareness of 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, running, bike route, or trails map not listed, please share it with us.
