This series consists of meeting agendas and minutes, correspondence, resolutions, bylaws, memoranda, notes, and related background materials of the New York State Trails Council. The Trails Council is a citizen's advisory board that advocates trail interests to all levels of government and to the public; provides a reliable source of information on trail-based recreation and the needs of trail users; coordinates efforts to construct and maintain trails; fosters responsible trail use ethics; and provides a forum for mediating differences among trail user groups. Also included in the records are Trails Day proclamations, brochures, publications, reports and directories, opinion survey information, and records relating to the 1980 New York State Trails Symposium.

The Statewide Trails Plan provides the overall vision, goals, and objectives for the creation of a statewide trails system. The records in this series include copies of the Statewide Trails Plan report, as well as various background materials used in its preparation, including environmental impact statements, surveys, reports, and other documents. The surveys and reports provide both an inventory of trail services offered by the agency for public use as well as an assessment of the public's preferences for services and level of participation in trail-related activities throughout the state.
