台灣古道不勝枚舉，起造者、起造時間及起造原因各有不同。台灣古道的現況參差不齊，由政府機關負責維護管理者，狀況佳；由民間團體負責維護者，狀況不一；無維護管理者，則雜草叢生難以穿越。
本網站旨在提供有用的台灣古道相關參考資料予欲進一步瞭解台灣古道的山友與一般大眾。
Taiwan Historic Trails (also called ancient or old trails) can be found throughout the country. These trails are of diverse origins and were built over the years for many different purposes. Today, mountaineers will find them in various states from officially maintained and regulated by government agencies to unofficially maintained by citizen groups and individuals to overgrown and impassable.
