Catalina Island Conservancy is celebrating the recent completion of Trekking Catalina, a new master trails system that includes 27 miles of new and enhanced hiking trails and is the biggest addition to the Catalina trails system since the completion of the Trans-Catalina Trail in 2009.
With the completion of Trekking Catalina, the Conservancy now offers 165 miles of recreational roads and hiking trails for visitors and residents to explore Catalina’s more than 42,000 acres of wildlands off the coast of California.
The new master trails system offers improved access points of entry at Avalon and Two Harbors, changes to the Trans-Catalina Trail and new waterless restroom facilities along the trails. Trekking Catalina also includes improved trailheads and signage for navigating trails, as well as interpretive enhancements.
Hiking maps depicting the new trail system will be available in early September and may be purchased at the Conservancy House in downtown Avalon. Hiking permits are required so hikers can be located in the event of an emergency. Hiking permits are free and can be obtained online from the Conservancy’s website or at the Explore Store, the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden, the Nature Center on Avalon Canyon Road, Airport in the Sky and Two Harbors Visitor Center. To protect the natural habitats, the Conservancy asks hikers to stay on the designated trails.
