• Hosted on the fourth Saturday of April, Celebrate Trails Day is Rails to Trails Conservancy’s annual spring celebration of America’s trails, encouraging people across the country to get outside and enjoy the nation’s exceptional trails and trail systems.
• Hundreds of events take place nationwide and tens of thousands of people show up on America’s trails, celebrating the incredible impact trails have on our lives and in our communities.
• This year, Celebrate Trails Day is on April 25 and it’s more important than ever that we show up to send a clear message that trails are essential to our lives and to the places where we live.
• The 2026 event takes on additional meaning as RTC’s marks its 40th anniversary. Activities will illustrate the grassroots activism at the origins of the trails movement and the transformative impact that these spaces deliver across the American landscape.
