In the Chart Below:

• Trail sections are listed from south to north,
• Sections listed as "- Available -" under the Maintainer Name column are in need of a section maintainer(s). Contact us if you're interested in adopting one of these. (Adoption of a partial section(s) is ok.)
• Please help us keep the listed trail conditions up-to-date by reporting any trail hazards you encounter. Sections in top condition are rated 1. Poorest are 5.
• Because the unmeasured mileages will change, check back at this page for up-to-date references.
• This is the 'official' section and numbering system for the BMT and the BMTA encourages all to use it. (So to minimize the potential for confusion, for consistent reference in emergency rescue, etc.)
• Click here to toggle between Imperial and metric measure.
