You must be logged into Trailforks.com before you can download a trail's GPS data. At the bottom of each trail page, there are 2 links to download a KML, GPX, or OSM file of that trail's GPS track.
If you are logged in, you can also visit this page to download trail data.
If the region has trail downloading disabled at the request of a local trail association, the trail will not be available for download. There is a rate limit for downloading trail data; it's currently set to 10 trails an hour.
We grant only regional trail administrators permission to download all the trails in an entire region. All the trails in a region can be downloaded in KML, GPS, and OSM formats. If you wish to learn more about being a regional administrator, please visit this article.
Trail data can also be accessed via our JSON API if you want to develop your own website plugin or app. Registration for use of the API is required.
Note: Trail data usage is meant for trail association usage, and Trailforks has a share-a-like policy towards the data. So any use of the data must remain free access. Users cannot download all the trails for a region then make an app and charge for the app. Users can make an app that credits Trailforks and is made available for free.
