The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) pedestrian and bicycle route between Maine and Florida along the East Coast of the United States. The nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance was created in 1991 with the goal to use the entire route with off-road, shared-use paths; as of 2021[update], over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of the route (35%) meets these criteria.[1] In 2020, the Greenway received over 50 million visits.[1]
