What “unverified suggestion” means

Someone added the place to OpenStreetMap, a free map anyone can edit. Trek Eleven has not visited it. It may be closed, private, full or in a different spot. If you find an error, fix it in OpenStreetMap so everyone gains.

About the government lists

A ring on the map is a place from a state government list: a rest area, or a State Forest recreation site. We show each list as supplied, with the month its data is from, and credit it below. These lists can be old, and a rest area is often day-use only, so check the signs. Where a list says a place is closed, we show its words and its dates.

Check before you go

Roads, fire bans, park closures and weather change quickly. Trek Eleven does not show live closures yet. Check these official sources before you travel.

Help check these

Been to one of these places? Testers will be able to say “still like this?” and fix facts. Join the testers.
