Richard,
I would love to see some data on this myself.  And with trail construction 
costs going through the roof, it will be even more relevant in the future. 
 My hunch is that  a hard surface gets quite of bit more use, but I have 
no data.  It probably also depends on whether it's in an urban area or 
rural.

[IndianaTrails] Crushed Limestone Surface vs. Asphalt Trail Surface






The Farm Heritage Trail project in Boone County would like to hear about 
other trail groups? experiences when it comes to choosing trail surfaces. 
My question is how much more trail use occurs on the more costly ?asphalt? 
trail surface option versus the less costly ?crushed limestone? trail 
surface option. 
 
Our group is working on a grant request that will help us afford the 
?asphalt? trail option so hearing about  your experiences in this area is 
greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
