DURHAM, N.C. - Cyclists and hikers in the Bull City now have an updated resource in print, and will soon have one online later this week, thanks to the just-released 2018 edition of the Durham Bike & Hike Map<http://durhamnc.gov/1031/Durham-Bike-Hike-Map>.

Cyclists can use the map to plan commuting and recreational trips since the map shows greenway trails, identifies the suitability of streets for bicycling, and includes useful neighborhood connector routes. The map also provides riding tips and other resources. For hikers, the map highlights popular trails in Durham, and provides information on parks and recreation opportunities. Among the areas highlighted are trails along the Eno River, the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, Hollow Rock Nature Park, and Little River Regional Park.

The map can be downloaded now as a PDF file at http://durhamnc.gov/1031/Durham-Bike-Hike-Map and accessed online or from a mobile device on Friday, July 6 at https://webgis.durhamnc.gov/bikemap.html. Printed copies of the map are also now available at no charge from the following locations:
