Kentucky Trails System Act

The act creates a statewide system of scenic and recreation trails, setting the criteria a trail must meet, naming the system's initial components, and prescribing how additional trails are proposed, routed, and formally established. It authorizes the acquisition of land and trail rights-of-way, including consideration of abandoned rights-of-way, and provides for signing, maintenance, relocation, and regulation of trail use — restricting hunting and generally prohibiting motorized vehicles, with limited exceptions and penalties for violations. It also allows state trails to be incorporated into the national trail system and establishes adventure tourism districts to promote recreation and economic development in rural areas, subject to liability limitations and posted warning requirements.
