Trail Town Scout

Rail trails and cycling towns across America. Surfaces, distances, and where to sleep and eat at the end of the day.

What we cover

Trail Town Scout covers rail trails, cycling towns and trail travel. Coverage is organised into 7 sections: Costs, Features, Guides, Industry, Maintenance, Reviews, Rules. There are 82 articles published so far.

How we work

Articles are written to be useful to someone actually doing the thing: specific, checkable, and honest about what varies by situation. Where a piece touches regulated work, it says so rather than implying the reader can skip a professional.

We correct mistakes rather than quietly editing them away. If a correction changes the substance of a piece, the article says what changed.

Following along

Every article appears in the RSS feed, which is the best way to follow the site without an account or a newsletter.
