Our Work

Portland Trails transforms Greater Portland into a healthier community for people-powered transportation, conservation, and recreation, by creating a network of trails and green spaces that connects people with places.

Since 1991, Portland Trails has built and maintained a network of 70 miles of trails and green space throughout Greater Portland. The trail network reaches within a half mile of every resident of Portland. It spans four different communities, and over one million people use the trails each year. From someone’s morning jog, to a student’s safe walk to school, we are a part of people’s lives every day.

With over 1300 members and countless more volunteers, we are able to transform Portland’s streets and the community for visitors and locals alike.

In 2015, Portland Trails adopted a 5-Year Strategic Plan highlighting the following priorities for our work. Click on a priority below to learn more.
