biking trails is an informational directory that aggregates, summarizes, and presents publicly available information about biking trails, greenways, and multi-use paths — including data derived from public sources such as Google Maps listings and user reviews. We are not a park authority, trail management organization, or land manager, and we do not own, operate, or maintain any of the trails listed on this Site.

3. No Guarantee of Accuracy
Trail conditions, difficulty, surface type, amenities, hours of operation, fees, and other details displayed on the Service are compiled from third-party sources, including publicly available Google Maps data and user reviews, and may be summarized or interpreted using automated tools, including artificial intelligence.

We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the Service or any information, trails, or listings displayed on it.
4. Assumption of Risk — Outdoor & Physical Activity
Biking, hiking, and use of outdoor trails involve inherent risks, including but not limited to falls, collisions, exposure to weather, wildlife encounters, trail hazards, and equipment failure. You acknowledge and agree that:

5. Third-Party Links and Content
The Service may contain links to third-party websites, including trail websites, mapping services, booking platforms, and affiliate or advertising partners. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site. Your use of any third-party site is governed by that site’s own terms and privacy policy.
Some outbound links on the Service may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase or take a qualifying action through those links, at no additional cost to you.
