Heritage Trail
System
The Heritage Trail System includes a network of
non-motorized multi-use trails and biking
facilities within the greater Billings area.
We are very fortunate here in Billings to have
such a variety of multi-use trails and open
spaces available for jogging, taking brisk
walks, biking, or inline skating. The Billings
Parks and Recreation Department takes pride in
helping to provide the community with these
opportunities. Below you will find information
as to where these recreational areas are and the
approximate distances available. The
Heritage Trail Plan can be viewed at
www.ci.billings.mt.us/government/heritage.php
and additional information is available through
www.bikenet.org
There is also a free Billings Bike Tour Map
available at the PRPL office, the Planning
Department, Chamber of Commerce or at the local
bike shops.
