Your application must include the completed forms available for download below and a detailed cost breakdown along with a detailed site plan.

This program is very similar to the Land and Water Conservation Program. Many of the same guidelines, forms and documentation will be utilized. Generally, overhead or administrative costs will not be funded from this program, but a portion of these costs may be used as part of the local match.

The objective of the program is to get trails and trail facilities on the ground and not to fund administration. The local match must be detailed on the application form and may not be from any other Federal source. All projects selected must fall into one or more of three categories: motorized, non-motorized, or diversified recreational trail or trail-related projects.

Proposals that provide for improved ADA and environmental impacts will receive a high priority. Helpful links for completion of the Recreational Trails Grant Recreational Trails Grant Application
