Incorporated in 1989, Ramona Trails Association (RTA) is an all volunteer, nonprofit public
benefit organization that is proud to represent all non-motorized trail users.
We are funded by membership dues, donations and fundraising efforts.
RTA is a 501c3 and donations are tax deductible.
Equestrians, bicyclists, hikers and supporters join together to have fun and work toward the
common goal of trail advocacy, designation, development, maintenance, and use. RTA has
been successful in planning and creating over 50 miles of trails in the greater Ramona
region.
Ramona was the first unincorporated community to have an approved plan in San Diego
County. The Ramona Community Trails and Pathways Master Plan is our guide to help
ensure trails and pathways get on the ground. Accepted and adopted by the County of San
Diego in 2005 as a part of the County Trails Master Plan (CTMP), it provides a
comprehensive guide to create a cohesive and connected community using non-motorized
means of travel and to provide recreational opportunities throughout the region. However, in
recent years the County Trails Master Plan not been recognized by the County as land use
planning document.
The CTMP was a plan developed by 18 unincorporated communities to create a system of
interconnected regional and community trails and pathways. These trails and pathways are
intended to address an established public need for recreation and transportation, but will
also provide health and quality of life benefits associated with hiking, biking, and horseback
riding throughout the County's biologically diverse environments.
Our current focus is in advocating for the Santa Maria Creek Greenway; the increased
access to Old Survey Road 97 and its connection to the San Dieguito River Park; and the
increased public access to the large open space of Canada de San Vicente.
RTA continues to help maintain the trails within the Ramona Community Park and have a
storage container and picnic area within the park.
