Where We Are Today

Today, CORA is recognized as a leading trail advocacy and development organization in the Greater Cincinnati region. We work in partnership with groups like Tri-State Trails to help shape the vision of a 934-mile network of trails and greenways across the region.

With more than 120 miles of natural surface trail built and maintained across 15+ trail systems, CORA continues to expand equitable access to outdoor recreation through strong relationships with land managers, park systems, and local governments.

Our volunteers and supporters make this work possible. They help build trails, attend public meetings to support new projects, and spread awareness in their communities. Together, we are helping to bring long-term plans like the Northern Kentucky Regional Trails Vision to life, creating sustainable, inclusive trail connections that serve the entire region.

We believe in the power of trails to build healthier, more connected communities. 

Our mission is to bring to life a sustainable world-class trail system in greater Cincinnati, contributing to the joy, health, and well-being of our neighbors.

Our vision is to be one of the top community trail systems in the country.

Our strategic goals include: 

Whether you swing a shovel, support with a donation, attend an event, or simply spread the word, you’re helping fuel a stronger, more connected trail network.

We’re always looking for new trail advocates, and there’s a place for you in this story.

CORA started with a handful of people and a lot of vision. Today, we’re part of a regional shift toward sustainable outdoor infrastructure that serves all. Trails don’t just happen, they’re built together with people like you.

Let’s keep building, together.
