Section Mileages & Maintainers

"...leaving a footpath for generations to follow."

In the Chart Below:

Trail sections are listed from south to north,
Sections listed as "- Available -" under the Maintainer Name column are in need of a section maintainer(s). Contact us if you're interested in adopting one of these. (Adoption of a partial section(s) is ok.)
Please help us keep the listed trail conditions up-to-date by reporting any trail hazards you encounter.
Because the unmeasured mileages will change, check back at this page for up-to-date references.
This is the 'official' section and numbering system for the BMT and the BMTA encourages all to use it. (So to minimize the potential for confusion, for consistent reference in emergency rescue, etc.)
