The Trails Stewardship Initiative is a project of OpenStreetMap US focused on improving OpenStreetMap trail data quality in support of responsible recreation. Pilot campaigns have shown the need to improve trail mapping workflows. OpenTrailMap is a prototype tool built to help mappers easily visualize and validate trail data. In the future, OpenTrailMap could close the loop between mappers and trail managers, allowing users to view, edit, download, and comment on OpenStreetMap trail data.

OpenTrailMap shows all the trails and related outdoor recreation features in OpenStreetMap. Its goal is to help land managers and trail ambassadors understand how their local trails are mapped in OSM, and serve as a quality assurance and feedback tool for the trail mapping community.
The OpenStreetMap US Trails Stewardship Initiative is a collaboration of government, volunteer, and private sector stakeholders working to address issues in trail mapping, outdoor recreation, and public land management.
