Roseville's Miner’s Ravine Trail earns national recognition as a top US recreational trail
Roseville’s Miner’s Ravine Trail has joined the ranks of the nation’s premier recreational paths by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
On June 6, 2025, National Trails Day, the U.S. Department of the Interior designated the 6.36-mile trail a National Recreation Trail, recognizing its value to the community and its role in promoting outdoor recreation and sustainable transportation.
The designation places Miner’s Ravine Trail among a select group of five new trails honored nationwide this year. It also adds the popular path to a network of more than 1,300 federally recognized trails across all 50 states.
“This national designation is an honor for our city and a reflection of the vision and hard work that go into making trails a reality,” said Suzanne Engelke, Associate Transportation Planner for the City of Roseville on their website. “It’s part of our larger commitment to providing a well-connected, accessible, and scenic trail network, now totaling over 51 miles citywide.”
Miner’s Ravine Trail offers guests a preserved area of riparian corridors, tree-lined open space, and many residential neighborhoods. This trail is a favorite for walkers, runners, cyclists and anyone needing fresh air.
The City of Roseville manages the trail as a recreational service and an essential commuting route connecting schools, parks, employment centers and neighborhoods.
Now part of the National Recreation Trail system, the trail will benefit from enhanced visibility, possible federal support, and inclusion in national trail maps and guidebooks, bringing more attention to Roseville’s growing trail infrastructure as the trail totals over 51 miles citywide.
The trail also aligns with Roseville’s broader efforts to promote active transportation. The city holds a Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community designation by the League of American Bicyclists for its ongoing commitment to creating a safe, connected and accessible environment.
Those using the trails are encouraged to ‘Share the Trail’ responsibly, be aware of their surroundings and appreciate the trail's wildlife and natural beauty.
