Georgetown-Lewes Trail Survey

DGI collecting data to better understand trail's use and needs.

Delaware Greenways is conducting a user survey of the Georgetown-Lewes Trail throughout the month of September.  We’re gathering information to understand when, who, how and why people use the trail. We’ll be asking about your favorite aspects of the trail, and how your trail experience can be improved.

Folks will be able to take the survey while on the trail on specific dates and locations (see below), or electronically, through this survey link. If you’re in the area, make sure to come out and see us!

Survey results along with recommendations will be widely available, encouraging trail user groups, municipalities, government agencies and the public to consider sound trail safety, etiquette, and maintenance programs.

Social media comments, letters to the editor and various other communications often highlight trail user experiences both positive and negative.  Our goal, through data collection, will be to identify specific barriers that may keep this popular trail from providing an enjoyable, safe experience for all ages and abilities.  Working collaboratively with others, we look forward to implementing programs to reduce barriers. Working together we can make our trails safe and enjoyable for all.
