The Florida Greenways and Trails System (FGTS) Plan provides a comprehensive
approach to identify, prioritize, connect, promote and coordinate the implementation
of a statewide system of connected greenways and trails. This plan is the vision for
the FGTS both on land and water, with the intent of improving the health and
welfare of the public. 

Creating a statewide system of greenways and trails for Florida is an important way
to integrate aspects of the natural and human environments. Greenways and trails
join communities together by linking features such as parks, open space, historic
sites and residential areas. Nonmotorized trails and waterways provide places for
paddlers, bicyclists, hikers, horseback riders and others to recreate and experience
the many natural and cultural wonders of our state. Greenways are natural
landscape linkages that are vital to the maintenance of functional and healthy
native ecosystems. Ecological greenways support our human environments and
allow wildlife to thrive and travel from place to place.

This GIS layer is created by the Office of Greenways of Trails as an update to the
2015 Paddling Trail Priorities layer, to support the statewide Florida Greenways &
Trails System (FGTS). To read more about the Florida Greenways & Trails
System plan, please see: ttps://floridadep.gov/parks/ogt/content/florida-greenways-and-trails-system-plan-and-maps

This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Office of Greenways and Trails
Florida Greenways & Trails System Plan 2018-2022. Pursuant to Chapter 260.0141
Florida Statutes: Planning materials, maps, and data and other information
developed or used in the Greenways and Trails Program shall not be construed as
designation of lands as part of the statewide system of greenways and trails.
Identification of lands on this map shall not: 

1. Require or empower any unit of local government, or any state agency, to impose
   additional or more restrictive environmental, land-use, or zoning regulations; 
2. Be construed or cited as authority to adopt, enforce, or amend any environmental
   rule or regulation; comprehensive plan goals, policies, or objectives; or zoning or
   land-use regulations; 
3. Be used as the basis for permit denial; imposition of any permit condition; or
   application of any rule, regulation, or ordinance by any subdivision of local,
   regional, or state government, or; 
4. Be construed or cited as authority by any governmental agency to reduce or
   restrict the rights of owners of lands so identified.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

The data was in shapefile format and was in the following projection:
Albers NAD 83 HARN.

- Redefined projection to FGDL Albers HARN
- Added the field DESCRIPT based on SEG_NAME.
- Added the field FGDLAQDATE based on date received from source.
- Upcased all text in the attribute table.
- Data set was renamed pd_prio_feb18 from PADDLING_TRAIL_PRIORITIES
