Trail Champion Guide to Statewide Outdoor Recreation Plans

The Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) is an essential resource, serving as the official playbook that directs outdoor recreation funding and sets priorities across your state. This guide is specifically for Trail Champions advocating for quality mountain biking access—who understand that for trails to secure funding and a voice in statewide planning, they must be included in the SCORP process. Since states must update this document every five years, learning how to engage with your state's SCORP is important. By becoming involved, you empower your community to ensure mountain biking is recognized and prioritized, thereby securing the access and funding necessary to protect, enhance and create great places to ride mountain bikes.
