Abstract: 
Water trails designated by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission in Pennsylvania.  Visit http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/Fish_Boat/watertrails/trailindex.htm for more information.
Purpose: 
Allows for mapping on a statewide or regional scale of water trail extents in Pennsylvania.
Supplemental_Information: 
The data set was created by selecting the approprate segements from the 1:24000 National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) flowing waters layer corresponding to the water trail extents.  The segements were merged together to form the water trail lines.
