TITLE: FLORIDA PADDLING TRAILS OPPORTUNITIES - 2013-2017

Geodataset Name:       PDPRIO_2013
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    Polyline
Feature Count:         201
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Paddling Trails Opportunities Map represents the vision for a comprehensive water-based trails system. This map includes waterways that are designated as part of the FGTS or are appropriate for future designation. Because water trails are not consistently captured in local and regional planning efforts like land trails typically are, it is important to establish a basic criteria for inclusion. Therefore, to be included in the Paddling Trails Opportunity Map, a waterway shall - Represent an existing or potential destination trail that reaches beyond the local area due to its scenic qualities and diversity of experiences. - Be at least three miles in length, preferably longer. - Be navigable during the majority of months in an average year.

USER NOTES:

the original data.
The FGTS is made up of existing, planned and conceptual trails and ecological greenways that
form a connected, integrated statewide network. The FGTS serves as a green infrastructure plan
for Florida, tying together the greenways and trails plans and planning activities of communities,
agencies and non-profit organizations throughout Florida. The Opportunity Maps address Goal 1 
of the FGST Plan - "Identify and prioritize trails and greenways to facilitate completion of the FGTS."
The Opportunity Maps contain the comprehensive vision for the FGTS.

These shapefiles were created as part of the Florida Greenways & Trails System (FGTS) 
Plan 2013-2017, which outlines the new vision for the Florida Greenways and Trails System.  
This GIS layer was created as an update to the 2008 Paddling Trail Opportunity layer, to 
support the Florida Statewide Greenways & Trails System. To read more about the (FGTS) 
Florida Greenways & Trails System plan, please see:

This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Office of Greenways and Trails 
Florida Greenways & Trails System Plan 2013-2017. Pursuant to Chapter 260.0141 
Florida Statutes: Planning materials, maps, and data and other information 
developed or used in the Greenways and Trails Program shall not be construed as 
designation of lands as part of the statewide system of greenways and trails. 
Identification of lands on this map shall not: 1. Require or empower any unit of local 
government, or any state agency, to impose additional or more restrictive 
environmental, land-use, or zoning regulations; 2. Be construed or cited as authority 
to adopt, enforce, or amend any environmental rule or regulation; comprehensive 
plan goals, policies, or objectives; or zoning or land-use regulations; 3. Be used as 
the basis for permit denial; imposition of any permit condition; or application of any 
rule, regulation, or ordinance by any subdivision of local, regional, or state 
government, or; 4. Be construed or cited as authority by any governmental agency 
to reduce or restrict the rights of owners of lands so identified.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
