GREENWAYS TRAILS PRIORITIZATION PROJECT PADDLING TRAILS PRIORITIES

Geodataset Name:      PDPRIO
Geodataset Type:      SHAPE
Geodataset Feature:   POLYGON

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

This dataset contains paddling trail opportunities prioritization results from the Office of Greenways and Trails Prioritization Project. The original paddling trail opportunities were identified in the Office of Greenways and Trails Implementation Plan adopted by the Florida Legislature in 1999. The Florida Greenways and Trails Council approved the trail prioritization results contained in this dataset in May 2001. Paddling trail segments include only those trails not already designated or part of the Florida Circumnavigational Trail.
