Our Story

Imagine a hidden world where rugged landscapes meet brilliant minds—a world where the unsung heroes of the outdoors shape our connection to nature. This is the story of Trail Dogs, a docu-series that pulls back the curtain on the art, science, and passion behind planning, designing, building, and maintaining our nation’s trails.

In every season, we follow a dedicated team of "Trail Dogs"—trail builders who see each path as a canvas for creativity and a lifeline for community. Their journey unfolds over 3-5 episodes that capture not only the physical challenges of construction but also the personal stories of those who devote their lives to this craft. From overcoming unique engineering obstacles to revealing the rich histories embedded in each trail’s design, every episode paints a vivid picture of dedication and innovation.

But Trail Dogs is more than just a behind-the-scenes look at construction. It’s a call to action. This series shines a spotlight on the critical need for funding, volunteers, and new talent in the trail industry. By showcasing the health, economic, and quality of life benefits of well-maintained trails, we invite viewers to see how their support can spark change—transforming local landscapes into sustainable havens for generations to come.

Partnering with Super Genius, the creative force behind acclaimed series like Garage Squad, and backed by The Parks Channel, Trail Dogs is set to inspire and mobilize communities across the nation. American Trails owns the rights, ensuring that every story is told with authenticity and passion.

Join us as we celebrate the trail builders and embrace the adventure of creating a legacy. With Trail Dogs, every trail is a story, and every story is a step toward a brighter, more connected future in the great outdoors.
