How to Find Walking Routes Near You on MapMyWalk

MapMyWalk's homepage includes a "Find a Walk Near You" section that lists all 50 U.S. states, so you can browse walking routes by state without creating an account first. Click your state to see the routes available there. This works best if you already know which state you want to walk in; if you're looking for a specific city, distance, or route type, you'll need to use the site's search and map tools after you land on the state page.

Step-by-step: Browsing routes by state

1. Go to mapmywalk.com.
2. Scroll to the Find a Walk Near You section on the homepage.
3. Find your state in the alphabetical list (Alabama through Wyoming).
4. Click the state name to open its route listing.
5. Browse the routes shown and open any that interest you to see details.

The homepage lists every state in alphabetical order, from Alabama and Alaska through Wisconsin and Wyoming, so you can jump straight to yours rather than scrolling through a map.

What you'll see on a state page

Once you click a state, you're taken to that state's walking route listing. From there you can review the routes other walkers have mapped and decide which ones fit your location and distance needs.

Other ways to find routes on MapMyWalk

The homepage also surfaces two related entry points alongside the state list:

• Create a Walking Map — map your own route if you can't find one that fits.
• Find and Discover New Walking Routes — the broader route discovery area of the site.

If browsing by state doesn't surface what you want, these tools let you search more specifically or build a route from scratch.

What you need before you start

• A browser with JavaScript enabled. The site notes that JavaScript is required for the full interactive experience, so route browsing and mapping may not work properly without it.
• No account is required just to browse the state lists. Creating an account is a separate step, listed on the homepage alongside the route tools.

Common snags

• JavaScript disabled: The homepage explicitly asks you to enable JavaScript for the full interactive experience. If the state links or route pages don't load, check this first.
• Looking for a city, not a state: The homepage entry point is organized by state only. Use the route discovery or map creation tools for finer searches.
• Expecting a mobile-only feature: The state browsing works from the website; MapMyWalk also describes itself as a walking GPS app, so the same route discovery is available through the app if you prefer walking with your phone.

Deciding if this fits your need

If you just want to see what walking routes exist near you, the state list is the fastest path. If you need something more specific or want to build your own, move to the discovery and map creation tools.
