Program Information

As the Las Vegas Valley continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, planning for recreational opportunities such as trails and open space is vital. The intent of the trails program is to plan and build safe, easily accessible, and aesthetically pleasing off-street trails to improve the general quality of life throughout Clark County. These trails will offer needed open space and recreation areas to more than a million people.

Trails are important because they connect people and communities by providing access to parks, schools, activities, shopping, natural areas, federal lands, and employment centers. Trails may also improve air quality and lessen traffic congestion if used as a means of alternative modes of transportation.   

A Primary Trail System was cooperatively developed through the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition, and Clark County, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson are planning and building an extensive network of urban trails in the Las Vegas Valley. This system will create a regional trails network and provide interconnectivity with local neighborhood trails.
