About the East Coast Greenway

Imagine a safe, connected place where people of all ages and abilities can walk, bike, roll, run or ride for everyday travel or pure enjoyment. On the East Coast Greenway, your daily commute might include neighbors, visitors from the next state or travelers exploring the length of the East Coast.

The East Coast Greenway is a nationally connected, locally rooted trail system linking 15 states and more than 450 communities. It strengthens local economies and transforms daily mobility and outdoor recreation by promoting healthy, sustainable transportation and deeper connections to community and nature across the Eastern Seaboard.

Founded in 1991, the nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance leads the development of this 3,000-mile route from Maine to Florida. Working from early planning through ribbon cuttings, the Alliance partners with communities to secure funding, share trail-building expertise and connect efforts across city, county and state lines — turning bold visions into completed Greenway miles.
