Welcome to the East Coast ! The is a network linking scores of local greenways into a unified, 3000-mile route from Canada to . It spans 15 states and the District of Columbia and connects communities between and . The East Coast Greenway aims to accommodate walkers, cyclists, skaters, skiers, wheelchair users, and equestrians.

This urban version of the legendary will provide safe, traffic-free transportation, recreation, exercise and tourism opportunities to the 45 million Americans who live near it as well as domestic and international visitors to the region. Over 29% of the route (as of summer 2013) is off-road in the form of over 175 individual trail segments and more segments are coming on-line each year. The remainder of the route is currently on carefully selected, safer roadways.

Our ultimate goal is for the East Coast Greenway to be completely off-road so it is safe and accessible for people of all ages and abilities to use. East Coast Greenway progress fosters low-cost transport, healthy lifestyles, and a thriving natural environment.

The East Coast Greenway Alliance ® (ECGA), based in Durham, , spearheads the project in partnership with organizations and agencies at the local, state and national levels. Together, we are creating an American treasure!
