General: The Sisters Community Trail System is a community wide, non-motorized trail system serving to connect downtown Sisters, local schools, neighborhoods and the regional trails within the Deschutes National Forest. The trail system is intended for recreation, commuting, and access in and around the greater Sisters area. It's a trail system for everyone, from the residents of Cloverdale and Tollgate to the citizens of Crossroads and Aspen Lakes. It's a trail system that will make the Sisters area a better place to live, connecting us to our community and each other. Sisters Trails Alliance The Sisters Trails Alliance is a hard working group of volunteers that is implementing the Sisters Community Trails Plan by actively designing and building trails. In 2006, they completed the new trail linking the Tollgate neighborhood with the Sisters High School. Their current big project is the expansion of the Peterson Ridge Trail system. The committee holds regular work parties of volunteers to sign, maintain and build trails.
Our Goals
Using Sisters Trails About Sisters TrailsSince 2001, the Sisters Trails Alliance (formerly Sisters Trails Committee), composed of a group of Sisters area residents, has been working to develop a system of walking, hiking, biking and equestrian trails in the greater Sisters area. These trails connect neighborhoods with the city, schools and adjacent public lands. The Sisters Trails Alliance is part of Sisters Parks and Recreation District (SPRD). The group has produced a comprehensive trails plan that identifies nearly 150 miles of trails, paths and lanes that will eventually be constructed in the greater Sisters area over time. The Trails Alliance consisting of community volunteers and area businesses are working together to plan and construct new trails on an ongoing basis. If you are interested in helping with the Sisters Trails Alliance please contact SPRD at 541-549-2091 or leave a note for the trails committee at trails@sisterstrails.com. |
