There are many places you can find a free hiking trail map such as state parks you are hiking in and when you first get to the spot, there should be a visitors area as this area often has a free hiking trail map for your convenience, and to help you from getting lost. Sometimes you can’t take it with you because it is in the form of a bulletin board so this isn’t much of a benefit to most of us and unless you have a photographic memory you are going to forget much of what you seen. So then, the next question is what are your options?
You have several options you can choose from. You may as well just be safe and follow these other tips instead. You can easily call up the Chamber of Commerce of the area in which you plan to do your hiking and they will often send you a lot of information for free on the area to promote tourism. This is a great way to know everything else going on at that time as well and then you may be able to plan a small trip and do more things.

Another way, and probably the best way, is to use the Internet to get your free hiking trail map. You can find all of the areas that were mentioned above quite easily. Most likely even on the same page. Often the Chamber of Commerce will have a website that offers everything they would send you in the mail. I’m sure this is really appreciated. It saves on time, money and a stamp for them. Doing research on the internet of where you want to adventure to will usually get you the free hiking trail map you are looking for.
If you are looking through the search engines, you may want to look up resorts in the area you are hiking as well. Sometimes they will charge though, so you are better off sticking to the Chamber Of Commerce. No matter what, you can find a free hiking trail map in many different areas. These trail maps are often associated with lakes and waterfalls so if you want to see a lot of beauty in the area that you will be hiking through, it will be simple for you to look up these landmarks on the maps that are sent out to you.
On a final note, it is possible that if you are going for a hike in a major national park, or a place that is of major interest, it is likely you’ll find a specific website associated with that park, and be able to find the map you are looking for.
