Adopt-a-trail

Shoreview offers nearly 90 miles of trails that connect people to parks, shopping areas and local businesses. These beautiful trails can be enjoyed year-round.

Adopt-a-Trail offers residents and local businesses a chance to volunteer their time and energy to keep approximately 60 adoptable miles of trails clean for all to enjoy.

Volunteers can sign up to adopt a trail segment for a two-year term in the fall every other year. A custom Adopt-a-Trail sign will be placed at the ends of each trail segment to recognize participants.
