In celebration of the 10th anniversary of QCTrails.org, Bi-State Regional Commission and the Quad City Health Initiative announced the launch of the newly enhanced website, a resource developed as part of Be Healthy QC (BHQC). QCTrails is a free user-friendly, interactive, and mobile responsive website that serves as a comprehensive resource that highlights multi-purpose trails, parks, and side paths. The newly enhanced platform offers an improved user experience to make it easier for visitors to find trails and learn detailed information about them, such as trailhead and restroom locations. The website’s improved visual accessibility will aid all users in finding opportunities for physical activity.

QCTrails.org offers a growing, four-season database of over 600 miles of regional trails in the five-county Bi-State Region. Whether you are planning a weekend hike, a scenic bike ride with family, a new running route, or a paddling trip along local waterways, each trail is an opportunity to add to your physical activity, improve your mental health, and enjoy the region.

Each detailed trail listing offers:

  • Interactive maps featuring parking, restrooms, parks, and local landmarks
  • Directions to trailheads and primary access points
  • Photos, user comments, and trail manager details

Overseen by Bi-State Regional Commission and the Quad City Health Initiative, QCTrails.org is supported by a broad network of local cities, counties, outdoor clubs, tourism organizations, and web developer Community Geographics.

Plan your next adventure at QCTrails.org.
