Hamilton County has introduced Trail Finder, a user-friendly tool designed to help outdoor enthusiasts explore the area.
Trail Finder provides details regarding trail distance, surface material, and trailhead locations, making it easier than ever to plan your next hike, bike ride, or nature walk.
Each park department in the county, including Hamilton County Parks and Recreation, Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation, Fishers Parks and Recreation, Noblesville Parks and Recreation, the Town of Atlanta, the Town of Sheridan, the Town of Arcadia, Cicero Parks, and Westfield Parks collaborated with Hamilton County’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) team with support provided by Cultivate Geospatial Solutions to map out every trail in Hamilton County. The Trail Finder tool shows a complete map of all the trails with important details, so you can choose the trail route best for your needs.
In fall of 2023, Park Finder was launched as a comprehensive program that provides detailed information regarding park amenities. People can choose a park on a map and view park descriptions and details, or they can filter to search for a type of recreation activity, and all the parks with that amenity are listed. Trail Finder has been added to this program to further provide sought after details to the public in a more convenient way.
Joan Keene, GIS Director for Hamilton County, explained the need for providing Trail Finder.
“Adding Trail Finder to the Park Finder tool allows us to provide even more detailed and accessible information to the public to answer all their questions about the trail systems,” Keene said. “Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for people to explore and enjoy Hamilton County.”
