  • consider the identification, development, and completion of long-distance bike trails in a geographically equitable manner.

The Department concerned shall ensure that each identified long-distance bike trail or area does not conflict with

  • the uses of any trail or road that is part of that long-distance bike trail;
  • multiple-use areas where biking, hiking, horseback riding, or use by pack and saddle stock are existing uses;
