Nevada County Trail Finder helps sort public access ahead of time
Nevada County's Trail Finder uses GIS data to show trail details such as managing agency, surface type, and allowed uses like hiking, biking, equestrian use, and OHV use.
Nevada County has plenty of outdoor choices. That is exactly why a map matters. The county’s Trail Finder helps people sort public access before heading out.
The mobile-friendly tool uses GIS data. It points to trail details such as managing agency, surface type, and allowed uses. A trail record may show hiking, biking, horse use, or off-highway vehicle use, depending on the route.
Use the live map before choosing a route. A trail can look close on a regular map and still have different rules, owners, surfaces, or seasonal limits.
Where to see it
Nevada County Trail Finder and county recreation pages. Check the live map before choosing a route.
