Water trail maps: what makes them great, and how yours could be better!

River Management Roundtable
Watch the Recording

What are the “must-haves” for maps that are being developed for most, if not all water trail visitors these days? Might there be information provided that is only ‘sort of ‘ helpful? Are you developing or updating your water trail map, and would you like to learn or share what seem to be their most valuable features? Join us for a discussion of the role of water/paddle trail maps, the ways you can develop and share them, and tips if your organization is just beginning to develop one from scratch. We’ll have river map experts to lead us!

Check out examples of river maps submitted by RMS members in 2022!

About RMS River Management Roundtables

Each month, the River Management Society hosts virtual conversations with professional river, greenway, and water trails leaders, planners, and managers whose community, region, state and federal river will benefit from the experiences of peer-to-peer sharing. Our goal is to facilitate an open forum to support your work managing rivers. We work together to tackle common issues by asking questions, sharing solutions and building comradery.
