Community Trails Master Plan

On January 12, 2005, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the adoption of the County Trails Program and the Community Trails Master Plan (CTMP). The County Trails Program will be utilized to develop a system of interconnected regional and community trails and pathways. These trails and pathways are intended to address an established public need for recreation and transportation, but will also provide health and quality of life benefits associated with hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding throughout the County's biologically diverse environments. The County Trails Program involves both trail development and management on public, semi-public, and private lands. The Community Trails Master Plan will be the implementing document for the trails program and contains adopted individual community trails and pathways plans.

PDS implements the CTMP through review of discretionary permit applications (GPA, SP, TM, STP, MUP, etc.).

The Active Transportation Plan links the CTMP soft-surface trails with other on and off-road active transportation facilities for a comprehensive network.

DPR has responsibility for trail maintenance and community initiated trail development issues. Visit this page for current open and developed trail systems in communities and County parks.
