摘要

Driven by a rapidly increasing demand for dispersed recreation opportunities, the management of forest trail systems has become a high priority issue for land managers. Trails must be user-safe, environmentally sound, economically affordable, and sustainable. To meet these mandates, engineering practices must employ design, construction, and maintenance technologies that anticipate type, intensity, and timing of trail usage. Trails must be fitted to topography, soils, surface water hydrology, vegetation types, and meteorological regimes. Currently, these essential design considerations are infrequently employed leading to poor trail performance and long-term sustainability consequences. This paper outlines design practices employed on the 100-mile trail system of the Clemson Experimental Forest, Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina, USA. Design examples include bridge construction, bog and low-water crossings, switchbacks, and structures facilitating surface water drainage. Construction practices identified in this paper provide sound engineering solutions for maintaining the environmental integrity and long-term sustainability of nonmotorized forest recreation trails.
