Trails & Parks

Nevada parks and trails make amazing places accessible to all of us.

Trails and parks are some of the most visible access points we have to our wild, natural spaces. They connect us with wilderness, wildlife and recreation, and make our communities more desirable and livable. Whether you seek a scenic path for wandering, single-track for mountain biking or a grassy spot to enjoy a picnic, in many cases, Nevada Land Trust (NLT) played a role in ensuring your access.

Collaborating with landowners, non-profits, government agencies, advocacy groups, and passionate individuals like you, NLT has been working to create and protect trails and parks since 1998.
