Everything the app does
DynamicTrail is the map your club maintains and your phone keeps working when the signal doesn't. Here is the whole of it — free, paid, and who each part is for.
For riders
Free unless a row says otherwise.
The map your club actually maintains
Trails, waypoints, parking, warming huts and parcels — drawn from what the local club marked official, not from a crowd-sourced pile nobody owns. Closed stretches are red on the line, not buried in a post.
- Filter by activity: snowmobile, ATV, UTV, dirt bike, mountain bike, hiking, ski, horse
- Several trail systems drawn at once, so a ride that crosses a club boundary still looks like one map
- Live groomer positions where the club shares them
- Contour overlay, satellite-free base map we host ourselves
Tap a trail, see the truth about it
Status, length, difficulty, who vouched for it, and every marking on it — closed, washed out, soft, blown down, one-way, speed limit — each on the stretch it applies to rather than the whole trail.
- Condition reports with a shelf life, so nothing stale stays on the map
- Reviews and ratings from riders who have been there
- Export any single trail as GPX or KML
Works where the signal doesn't — free
Your state's base map downloads once, about 30 MB, on wi-fi. Your club's trails, waypoints and closures are cached with it. No bars, no problem, and no subscription: paywalling the woods would be paywalling the point.
- Officers can edit trails and drop hazard pins offline; everything queues and syncs when coverage returns
- Maine and New Hampshire today, more states as clubs join
A key, because a coloured line is a claim
Ten kinds of marking, four trail statuses and five difficulty grades all share one map. The key sits on its own button beside the menu and explains every one of them — because the question "what is that red dashed line?" gets asked while you are looking at it.
- Closed trails are dashed as well as red, so the most important distinction on the map does not rest on telling green from red
- Markings carry hours where the club sets them: quiet 10pm – 7am, or a trail that is only open 8am – 6pm
- Each marking sits on the stretch it applies to, not on the whole trail
- The same key, the same colours, on the website
Fix the map from where you are standing
Ride a reroute that is not on the map and you have two ways to say so. Send the club a note, or propose the edit yourself — redraw the line, change the details, mark the washed-out half mile — and an officer approves it before anyone else sees a thing.
- Anyone signed in can propose. You do not have to be a club member to improve the map
- A proposal stays on your phone until you send it, and off everyone's map until an officer applies it
- Track what you sent in My Contributions, and get told when it is applied or declined — with the reason
- Report a hazard, a condition or a closed stretch the same way, in seconds
Check it from a browser
Every club's trail system has a page on this site — the same map, the same colours, the same key, and what is closed right now at the top. No app, no account, nothing to install: send the link to whoever is asking whether the trails are open.
Record your rides
GPS recording with pause and resume, distance and moving time, and the trails you actually covered matched automatically afterwards. Draw a ride by hand or import years of GPX and KML from another app.
Recording, drawing, importing, marking and exporting are free. Premium keeps a copy on your account.
Ride together
Share your live position with a party for the length of a ride, see everyone on the map with the trail they are on, and share a finished ride with a code. Free — a safety feature behind a paywall is not a safety feature.
Report what you find
Drop a hazard, report a condition, mark the stretch that is washed out. Submit a trail you rode straight to the club for approval. All free, always: nobody should be charged for improving the map.
Your own marks
Private trails, waypoints and areas only you can see, with your own categories you can lend to a friend by code. They live on the handset; Premium keeps them on your account too.
Follow the clubs
Club pages, events with RSVP, join requests, and alerts when a system you watch changes — a closure goes up, a reroute lands, a groomer runs.
Your data comes back out
Export any trail or any ride of yours whenever you like. Returning your own data is not a feature we would charge for.
For clubs
Moderation is free forever — approving, editing and reviewing what riders send is the work that makes the map, and taxing volunteers for it would be backwards. The paid tier is the office suite around it.
Approve what becomes official free
A queue of everything riders submitted, with the map to check it against. Approve, decline with a reason the rider actually sees, and undo any of it from the trail's history.
Maintain the trails free
Edit, reroute, split, mark a stretch, close a section, restore something deleted by mistake — from the office or standing on the trail with no signal.
Review what riders propose free
A rider's proposed edit arrives as a diff, not a paragraph: status, difficulty, length, which activity types were added or removed, how many points moved on the line. Compare the two routes on the map, then apply, apply with your own changes, or decline with a reason the rider sees. Nothing they send is visible to anybody until you do.
Every version kept free
Each change writes down what the trail looked like before it. Read the history, see what each entry would put back — the details, or the details and the route — and restore any of them. Restoring is itself undoable, so a bad approval at 11pm is a two-tap problem rather than a lost evening.
Mark a stretch, not a trail free
Closed, washed out, soft, blown down, rocky, one-way, no spinning, a speed limit, quiet hours, open hours — each drawn on the half mile it applies to, each with its own colour and stroke, each with a shelf life so a condition nobody remembers stops lying to riders on its own. Admins can add types with their own colour, pattern and hours.
Landowner CRM Club plan
Contacts, agreements, parcels and every interaction logged against the trails they cover. Losing a trail to lost paperwork is the expensive kind of avoidable.
Dues and members Club plan
Periods, roster, who has paid, and who has lapsed.
Events and announcements Club plan
Create rides and meetings — riders view and RSVP free — and push an announcement to your members when something changes.
Groomer history Club plan
Live positions stay free because they are safety. The run history, coverage and reports are the ops side.
Bulk import Club plan
Bring a whole archive in from GPX or KML, name and describe it, fix the lines, then send it for approval in one pass. Single submissions stay free.
Sponsor slots Club plan
Sell your own sponsor placements on your own trails and keep 100% of it. For most clubs a few local sponsors cover the plan.
