Lincoln's Trails
Each year about a million “treks” happen on Lincoln’s trails. With over 128 miles of hard surface and crushed rock trails, you can get just about anywhere you want to go using both on and off street routes. There are also several miles of hiker/biker trails within our parks making our system top notch. Whether you ride, run, jump or skip, using Lincoln’s trails are the perfect way to stay fit and save gas!
We are always making improvements to our trails system. Check back often for updates on our current and future projects.
