AllTrails Trail Scraper

AllTrails Trail Scraper

Scrape hiking trail data from any AllTrails park, city, or custom coordinate area, up to a million trails per run. Each trail comes with its difficulty, length, elevation gain, rating, reviews, and activity tags. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

AllTrails does not offer a public API for bulk trail data, and manual collection is slow when you need to compare hundreds of trails across regions. This Actor reads the public trail listings directly, filtered by difficulty, rating, length, elevation, route type, or features like waterfalls and dog access, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape AllTrails for
Outdoor gear brands	Find the most-reviewed trails in a region to plan product seeding campaigns.
Travel bloggers	Gather trail stats and descriptions for a roundup post on the best hikes in a national park.
App developers	Build a hiking recommendation engine with structured trail difficulty, length, and feature data.
Trip planners	Filter dog-friendly, kid-friendly trails under five miles near a vacation rental.

What it does

This Actor collects AllTrails trail listings by national park, US state, city name, or custom GPS coordinates, and returns each one as a flat row.

• 📍 Location search: pick a national park, US state, city, or draw a custom coordinate box.
• ⛰️ Trail filters: difficulty, minimum rating, minimum reviews, activity type, route type, length, and elevation gain.
• ✨ Feature filters: dog access, kid-friendly, waterfalls, lakes, views, forest, paved, and more.
• 👥 Visitor traffic filter: light, moderate, or heavy usage to match your crowd preference.
• 🌍 Description language: request trail descriptions in English, Spanish, French, or other supported languages.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your filters are not too restrictive. Try removing the minimum rating, minimum reviews, or feature filters and run again. Also confirm your location search type matches the input you provided.

The Actor is only returning 10 trails.

Free Apify accounts are limited to 10 items per run. Upgrade to a paid plan and increase the 'Maximum trails' setting to return more results.

My custom coordinate search returns trails outside my box.

Double-check your latitude and longitude values. North latitude must be greater than south latitude, and east longitude must be greater than west longitude (remember that western hemisphere longitudes are negative).

The run fails with a timeout error.

Large areas with many trails can take time. Try reducing the search radius for city searches, or use a smaller bounding box for custom coordinates. You can also increase the run timeout in the Actor's advanced settings.

Trail descriptions are in the wrong language.

Verify the 'Description Language' field is set to the correct two-letter code. If AllTrails does not have a description in that language, it may fall back to English.
