The Trails Are Open

The mission of GPTN is to advocate and support a network of trails in and around Lincoln and Lancaster County, Nebraska, for jogging, biking, and walking. We are continuing this important work during these uncertain times and want to encourage everyone to use the trails responsibly.

Our mayor is also promoting the use of the trails as a safe way to promote good physical and mental health. She has asked us to follow the minimum six-foot physical distancing guidelines while on the trails.

Please be courteous, be aware of each other, pass on the left and announce when you are passing.  When you stop to talk or stop to make a direction change we suggest that you step off the trail so others can pass safely. Carry all waste such as food wrappers or pet waste with you to dispose of properly at home. As we all share the trails, help us keep them safe, clean, and enjoyable. Learn more about membership in GPTN.

Lincoln is a wonderful city and we will get through this together. See you on the trails.
