What is trail construction?

Following a trails plan and design, construction is the act of implementing that plan: creating a trail, bike park, skills loop, or other associated infrastructure. Trail construction uses a variety of techniques, tools, and expertise to create the best possible user experience. In order to ensure a great trail experience, sustainability, and long-term success, there are many construction factors to consider thoughtfully. These include the construction approach–commercial, volunteer, agency, or hybrid–finding a qualified construction contractor, approaching construction in phases, and construction management.
