This summer's challenge? Skip the car and hit the trail instead.

With 50+ trails across Lexington and 22 miles connecting downtown to our world-famous rural landscape along the Town Branch Trail and Legacy Trail, there are plenty of ways to turn everyday trips into bike rides and walks.

It's a simple, free way to explore our community — and enjoy a little fresh air.

Let’s break it down by the numbers: Lexington has 98 miles of trails overall, including about 69 miles in city parks and just over 29 miles outside of parks, meaning no two outings have to look the same.

One day you could be hiking the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary, and the next biking from downtown to the Distillery District through Gatton Park.

And if you’re ready to turn those miles into a habit, there’s an easy way to track it with the Love to Ride app, where you can share stats, join social groups, and even win prizes.
