Trail Condition Monitoring

One of the Visitor Master Plan's goals is to ensure that the designated trail system provides a high quality visitor experience while protecting and preserving physical and environmental resources. In order to accomplish this goal, OSMP implemented the trail condition monitoring program. Trail condition monitoring identifies unsustainable trail segments, documents the location and condition of constructed features, and provides management recommendations or prescriptions for trail maintenance and sustainability. By documenting the condition of the designated trail system, managers can strategically allocate staffing and materials, and prioritize trail maintenance projects.
