What We Can Do For You

Collaborate with you on the design of your new trails! RTA has built over 100 trails in the North Bay, including popular trails at Moore Creek Park/Lake Hennessey in Napa and dozens of multi-use (hiker, biker, equestrian), dual use (hiker/biker or hiker/horse)  and single use(hike-only/bike-only) on Sonoma County Regional parks land. We’ve also built extensive trail networks on private property as well.

Build and maintain your trails and roads with over 100 miles of built trail experience.

Assess your existing trails for user experience, safety, environmental sustainability, and long-term maintenance. RTA trail assessments include GIS based location and length of the trails, along with logged trail conditions, recommended treatments and cost estimates.

Recruit, train, coordinate, and supervise volunteers to do trail and related stewardship. RTA has trained over 1,000 volunteers over the past decade. Those volunteers have contributed thousands of hours of service worth an estimated $375,000.

We build trails for private landowners, developers, municipalities, land trusts and many others.
