Trail Mapping Websites

If you're looking for a great trail, you will find an incredible selection of trail-mapping websites available. Not only do these sites allow you to map your own bike ride, trail run, or hike, they also allow you to access trail information provided by other users.

Following is a briefly annotated list of trail mapping websites:
  • Ride with GPS - a site to help cyclists plan bike rides and find routes in their area
  • Ride Dog- designed to help bicyclists find, map, & share cycling routes worldwide
  • gpsies - allows outdoor recreationalists to create "tracks" and view those of others
  • alltrails - Share your own trail information & explore over 40,000 trails & trail reviews
  • fitgroups - Plan group rides & hikes in your neck of the woods.
  • biketrippin - Use BikeTrippin to journal, track progress, & upload photos.
  • trailpedia - a collection of trail descriptions that have been submitted by registered contributors.
  • routebuddy - a UK-based developer of GPS-enabled mapping software
  • sports-tracker - Turns your mobile device into a social sports computer.
  • sportypal - Log & map your run, bike ride, walk, or inline skate experience.
  • Everytrail - Create and view trail trips and trail guides.
Most of the above websites/apps can be used to monitor your own activity, share your trail experience, and view the trail activities of other users. Basically, they are interactive versions of such trail location sites as traillink, trailsnet, and Trails.com.
