The Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council is seeking nominations for state-designated trails.
Trail advocates can nominate trails for two categories: scenic or regional. For a trail to qualify as scenic, the route must be shorter than a mile or combine with other trails to give access to scenery, and must be open to the public.
Trails nominated for the regional category must be longer than five miles and create recreation opportunities close to home. They should link communities, schools and recreation sites and be on public land.
Oregonians can nominate trails beginning Monday. Applications are due by Nov. 30. Application forms can be obtained at www .oregon.gov/OPRD/PLANS/Pages/ORTAC .aspx.
