Description

This form is an agreement to convey the use or benefit of a tract of land to another party for a specific limited purpose without giving the party the right to possess, take from, improve or sell the tract of land. A Perpetual Trail Easement is an agreement between a landowner and an organization or government agency that grants access to a specific area of land for the purpose of creating and maintaining a public trail. This type of easement is intended to be permanent and is not revocable. The landowner retains ownership of the land, but grants the trail-building organization or agency the right to use the land for the purpose of creating and maintaining a public trail. There are three main types of Perpetual Trail Easements: a Right-of-Way Easement, a Conservation Easement, and a Recreational Easement. A Right-of-Way Easement grants access to a specific area of land for a public trail, but does not impose any specific restrictions on the use of the land. A Conservation Easement is a type of Perpetual Trail Easement that grants access to a specific area of land for the purpose of creating and maintaining a public trail, but also imposes restrictions on the land use that prevent it from being developed or used for any other purpose. A Recreational Easement grants access to a specific area of land for the purpose of creating and maintaining a public trail, as well as for recreational activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and skiing.
