Kentucky
ranks 45th in total rail-trail
mileage. Kentucky has only 36 miles of rail-trails. Only
the states of Alaska, Hawaii, Delaware, New Mexico and
Nevada have fewer miles.
KRTC
works with local
organizations to develop greenways and trails, and is as
a source of information on project funding, design, and
management. KRTC also seeks to increase public awareness
of the benefits of rail-trails, and works with
the national Rails to Trails Conservancy.
