Trails Act – Building a sustainable trail network for everyone

Since February 2022, the Trails Act and amendments to the Public Lands Act have created a clearer, stronger system for managing recreation on public land.

What does that mean for Albertans?

This allows Alberta to establish designated and provincial trails, enabling the province to:

✔️ protect recreation infrastructure.
✔️ support sustainable trail use.
✔️ enhance your trail experience.
✔️ reduce conflict between users.
✔️ enable enforcement for inappropriate trail use.

This is important for everyone’s experience—whether you’re hiking, biking, riding, or exploring with family and friends. For example, clearly designated trails help ensure that a popular hiking route isn’t damaged by unintended motorized use, reducing wear and tear, minimizing user conflicts, and keeping the trail enjoyable and safe for years to come.
