National Recreation Trail

The Crown Z Trail is now a part of the National Trails System, a network of more than 1,300 national recreation trails located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. On June 3, 2023, the federal government officially designated the Crown Z Trail a National Recreation Trail (NRT). NRTs are existing land-based and water-based trails that provide close-to-home recreation opportunities on Federal, State, and local lands. The NRT designation is granted to some of the country’s highest-caliber trails that provide the benefits of spending time outdoors.
