Map of American Discovery Trail

The ADT comprises 6,800 miles (10,944 km) of trails, though this includes a loop in the Great Plains and Midwest where the trail splits and becomes two parallel trails. It is possible to walk from coast to coast using only 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of trail. Horses and bicycles are allowed on most segments of the trail.

Parts of the trail runs parallel to the Lincoln Highway, which was the first transcontinental highway.
