USER NOTES:
This dataset has been changed from the original GWHTR dataset by 'cutting' out those protions of trail that overlayed Private Landowner property that did not wish to be included in the results.
To query or map the hiking trail and trailhead network you will also need to use data from the multiuse trial and trailhead datasets (GWMUTR, GWMUTH) respectively. Please consult the documentation from these datasets for more information.
This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Greenways Ecological and Recreational Trail Project. This dataset has low accuracy, because it is used primarily for mapping and general location only.
Pursuant to Chapter 260.0141 Florida Statutes: The Opportunities as illustrated by this data layer are intended to establish an informational framework for voluntary participation by citizens, private property owners and all levels of government subject to the following limitations:
This data layer reflects private lands data received by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center as of December 31, 1998.
Establishment of the Greenways and Trails System is a dynamic process. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Florida Greenways Coordinating Council (FGCC) have made every effort to work with private landowners and public land managers to assure them the Statewide Greenways and Trails Program is voluntary. As a result, DEP and the FGCC agreed to remove conservation/ecological features from this map if they occur within the ownership of those who do not wish to have their lands included. Therefore, the Conservation/Ecological Opportunities included in this data layer do not represent a complete statewide vision. This data layer represents a vision as modified by requests from landowners to remove or include their lands in the system.
Some of the Implementation Opportunities in the Southwest DEP District occur in areas being actively mined for phosphate or for which mining is planned. These mining activities are subject to numerous regulatory requirements within the overall mining/ reclamation approval process that may or may not result in lands suitable for inclusion in the greenways and trails system. Designation of phosphate lands as part of the statewide system shall occur only if agreed to by the landowner/mining company and DEP.
Additional lands, particularly in the Northeast region of the state, have been requested to be removed from future depictions of the statewide system. The Department of Environmental Protection will make every effort to obtain the data and boundary information necessary to honor these requests.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Since its creation it has been edited for accuracy and content by GeoPlan Center staff, DEP Office of Greenways and Trails personnel, and Regional Greenways Task Force volunteers. The final version is considered a vision of potential hiking that will be part of a network of hiking trails throughout the state of Florida. It was digitized from hand drawn maps created by GeoPlan and DEP Staff, then edited to remove all the trails that overlayed private landowner property that did not wish to participate.
