Rails to Trails Conservancy
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is an American nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., that works with communities to preserve unused rail corridors by transforming them into rail trails within the United States.
The Great American Rail-Trail is a cross-country rail trail in the United States. The trail will run 3,700 miles between Washington D.C. in the east and the state of Washington in the west. The planned trail is already more than 53% complete, with over 2,000 completed miles on the ground. The Cowboy Trail and MoPac Trail will be part of this trail system through Nebraska when completed.
