DESCRIPTION:
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 developin g or updating your water trail map, and would you like to learn or share wh at 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 r iver maps submitted by RMS members in 2022!
