With over 25 years of experience building sustainable trails nationwide and internationally, we bring deep technical knowledge, craftsmanship, and passion to every project. We look forward to helping you create your next great trail.
We partner with state, local, and federal agencies to develop master trail plans, signage studies, and trail maintenance plans. If your existing trail needs improvements, we can help assess issues and provide practical, sustainable solutions.

Hybrid projects blend professional trail expertise with community involvement. Instead of hiring out everything, you get a partner who teaches, guides, and builds alongside your volunteers, staff, or members.

Since 2008, Great Lakes Trailbuilders has delivered hybrid projects that create durable, sustainable trails while building local skills and leadership. You don’t just get a finished trail — you gain the knowledge and confidence to care for it long after the project is done.

Each training is tailored to your goals, your landscape, and your team. From technical stonework and rigging to sustainable trail fundamentals and leadership development, we equip people with the skills to build, maintain, and care for trails that last. Let’s create a learning experience that empowers your crew and elevates your trails.
