Healthy Maine Walks Registry

Indoor Walking Guidelines:

Healthy Maine Walks provides information about walking routes in the State where the opportunity exists for Mainers to take part in physical exercise and the enjoyment of a healthy, active lifestyle. The Healthy Maine Walks Web site will give walkers knowledge of the routes available in their communities and elsewhere. While Maine offers many opportunities year-round for fun and healthy outdoor activity, there are times when people would prefer to walk indoors in a setting that offers lighting, climate control, and firm footing. This section focuses on indoor walking routes. If you are a route planner, manager, or avid walker on Maine routes and you would like to register a walk with Healthy Maine Walks, please follow the guidelines below. Please check the Healthy Maine Walks Registry (www.healthymainewalks.org) to ensure the route is not already listed. Information provided through Internet submissions will be reviewed and may then be entered in an active database. Only "public" routes (which are defined as those that are on federal, state, county, city, nonprofit entity property, and for which permission has been given for their use by the general public) should be submitted to Healthy Maine Walks. Routes may include designated portions of malls, schools, and municipal buildings. If possible, distance of indoor walking route should be posted if space is available. Routes should have no known hazards. Parking, ideally for both cars and bicycles, should be provided within a convenient distance from the route's endpoint(s). Please complete the questionnaire in its entirety — if you do not know all of the information about the route, fill out as much as you can.
