Land Trail Opportunities of the FGTS are corridors which represent existing, planned and conceptual non-motorized multi-use trails. These corridors form a land-based trail network of regional and state importance. The Opportunity corridors are interpreted as approximately one mile-wide to allow for flexibility in proposed trail locations. The Land Trail Opportunity map is a synthesis of trail planning efforts conducted by cities, counties, transportation planning organizations, non-profits and other agencies throughout Florida. This map does not include all existing, proposed and conceptual trails in Florida, but focuses on trails of state and regional significance to form a comprehensive connected system.
This GIS layer is created by the Office of Greenways of Trails as an update to the 2015 Land Trail Opportunities layer to support the statewide Florida Greenways & Trails System (FGTS).

The Florida Greenways and Trails System (FGTS) Plan provides a comprehensive approach to identify, prioritize, connect, promote and coordinate the implementation of a statewide system of connected greenways and trails. This plan is the vision for the FGTS both on land and water, with the intent of improving the health and welfare of the public. Creating a statewide system of greenways and trails for Florida is an important way to integrate aspects of the natural and human environments. Greenways and trails join communities together by linking features such as parks, open space, historic sites and residential areas. Nonmotorized trails and waterways provide places for paddlers, bicyclists, hikers, horseback riders and others to recreate and experience the many natural and cultural wonders of our state. Greenways are natural landscape linkages that are vital to the maintenance of functional and healthy native ecosystems. Ecological greenways support our human environments and allow wildlife to thrive and travel from place to place.

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.

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.
