Shawinigan ATV and Mountain Bike Trail Network

Polyline data maps off-road vehicle and mountain bike trails within the city of Shawinigan, Québec. The dataset was created by scanning from orthophotography and is maintained by the Government and Municipalities of Québec. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Calculate total trail network length using the `st_length (shape)` attribute for maintenance planning.
• Filter trails by `season` to identify routes suitable for summer or winter recreational use.
• Analyze trail distribution by managing `club_name` or trail `class` for stakeholder engagement.
• Join trail segments using the `no_entier` field for creating a continuous network path.

Strengths

• Includes specific geometric length measurements via the `st_length (shape)` column.
• Provides attribute data like seasonality and classification for trail analysis.
• Sourced from authoritative municipal orthophotography.

Limitations

• Unknown total number of trail segments or rows in the dataset.
• Relies on automated translation for metadata, which may introduce errors.
