Dataset Number 1729 Dataset Title Recreation Trails Custodian Data Authority: Department for Environment and Water Joint Custodian: Department for Transport and Infrastructure Data Provider: Department for Environment and Water

Description Description Data layer includes trails which generally consist of a formed pathway on the ground surface. Portions of some long distance trails which coincide with vehicular tracks or constructed roads, or exist only as a natural ground surface are included. Dataset includes trails managed by both the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) and the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing (ORSR). This dataset supersedes DEWNR Recreational Trail Routes and ORS Trails. Usage Can be used as a general indication of these features within the State and to determine the location and type of trail that users can access for recreational purposes.

Data Quality Lineage This dataset was created to store complete recreation trails data, including the main trail, trail loops and spurs. Where loop trails coincide with the main trail the geometry has been duplicated to enable easy selection and mapping of these features. Portions of long distance trails which coincide with vehicular tracks or constructed roads are included; portions which exist only as a natural ground surface (do not consist of a formed pathway) are also included. Trails managed by both the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) and the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing (ORSR) have been consolidated in this dataset. Data was sourced from existing datasets which may include GPS field data. Features were validated using existing trail or park maps, either hard copy or electronic via various web sites, and aerial imagery. Some features sourced from GPS data were edited to remove inconsistencies and excess vertices. Additional trails have been added within State Parks from field information. Completeness This dataset is a work in progress. Improvements in attribution and content are ongoing. New trails currently being developed will be included as project data becomes available (eg. Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail). Trails developed and managed by Local Government may be included in future (eg. Walk the Yorke Trail). This dataset may also be expanded to include other trail types in future (eg. Canoeing and Diving trails). Positional Accuracy 90% of well defined features are within +/- 10 metres of their true position.

Dataset Status Initially Acquired 21/01/2015 Last Updated CURRENT Update Frequency Monthly Maintenance Method Trails are generally updated on advice received from trail managers within Regional Programs or NPWSA regions (DEW) or the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing (DPC). Trails are maintained by heads-up digitising from orthophotography and integration of data from other sources (eg. GPS capture). AusGOAL Not yet determined
