Nevada is asking outdoor enthusiasts to weigh in on the future of the state’s trails. KLAS 8 News Now reported that a new survey is seeking priorities from hikers, mountain bikers, road cyclists, OHV users, horseback riders and kayakers.

That broad list matters in Southern Nevada, where trail use spans everything from desert singletrack to family weekend outings. The survey gives residents a chance to influence how public land and recreation infrastructure are shaped, rather than leaving those decisions entirely to agencies and planners.

For newcomers, it is also a useful snapshot of how much outdoor life is baked into the state’s identity. In a region known for casinos and concerts, trail access remains a serious quality-of-life issue for people who want to live here long term.

Details: The survey was reported by KLAS 8 News Now and is open to a wide range of trail users. More information is available at 8newsnow.com.
