Both spatial and attribute data collection is ongoing. Accuracy of length attributes is unknown. Approximate horizontal accuracy is 12 meters, assuming source data meets National Map Accuracy Standards. NONE Data was exported through Pathfinder Office as ArcView shapefiles. Shapefiles of various trail segments were merged in ArcView to form one coverage. This is an ongoing process. New, revised, and edited data are added to the data set on a continuous basis. GPS based coordinates were collected on various trail segments beginning in 1994. Data was collected in UTM Zone 16. This is an ongoing process.
