Texas Trails Network

Texas TrailMasters can now add maps, photos or other graphics to their trail info. Just log on and use the Trail Finder to locate your trail. In the right-hand column of the trail display, click the 'Images' link at the top and you will be able to upload graphic files (.jpg or .gif) up to 1 Mb in size. Don't be the last trail in the State without photos and maps... update yours now!

Is Your Trail On The Map?

Google Maps interface for the trailhead!

We are very pleased to be offering maps and driving directions to trailheads listed in our database utilizing Google Maps API.

If a valid street address is available for the trailhead(s) or the GIS / GPS coordinates have been entered, the trailhead(s) will be mapped with optional satellite backgrounds and zoom-in-out facilities. Use the Trail Finder (left-upper) to search for trails with 'Trailhead Mapable' box checked and see the 500+ currently available. Click here to do it.

If your trail is not on the map, then no coordinates have been entered. Just give a nearby street address to display on the map. You can display the aerial, grab the marker and move it visually to the parking lot of the trailhead. The coordinates can be displayed at any time by clicking the marker. If you are the TrailMaster, there will be an 'Update' button displayed with the coordinates. Click this to copy the coordinates into the trail data.

All registrations are previewed by TTN staff prior to publication. Once geo-oriented and published, full descriptions, trailhead maps and driving directions are available.

Keep Your Trail Information Up-To Date

It is even easier to keep your trail information up-to-date. Just log on to the TTN Portal and find your trail using the Trail Finder. If you are the TrailMaster or Alternate contact for the trail, an 'Edit' button will appear at the bottom of the trail information display.

For more information on managing your trail listings, click here to see our new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

We depend heavily upon input from trail providers, such as Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, City and County Parks departments and trail enthusiasts for our information. If you are one of the above, please go to the TTN portal, using the 'Join TTN' link in the upper-left of this page, and register for membership and become a TrailMaster. If you are already a member, you should check the information on your trails and on yourself to be sure the right word gets out on one of our most valuable resources, access to Texas open spaces.
