The Starting Point is your guide to more than 1800+ self-guided walking and biking trails throughout the USA, published by the American Volkssport Association.

Find Great Trails to do at your own pace, any day of the year.

Enjoy walks and bikes in national, state, and local parks and forests. Take in lovely countryside or charming small towns. Enjoy daily walking trails in your area. Visit destination attractions from coast to coast and enjoy seeing them afoot.

This book lists start points, addresses, driving directions, hours of operation, trail length and difficulty level, trail points of interest, host club and club contact numbers.

Once you get to the start point, sign the log and take a map and directions to enjoy a walk as invigorating or as relaxing as you choose. Go your own pace along the trail selected by the local club for its beauty, historical significance, points of interest, or simple walkability.

Most of the walks are free. You may choose to make a small donation to the host club, or read more about earning lifelong Achievement Awards by clicking here. If you choose to buy the IVV Record Books to record your walking achievements, then there is a small credit fee per walk of up to $3.00.
