The National Park Foundation (NPF) has announced over $200,000 in grants to be awarded to the thirteen national parks that have been selected to participate in the 2012 Active Trails program.

The 2012 Active Trails Grantees include:
- Antietam National Battlefield
- Catoctin Mountain Park
- Golden Gate National Recreation Area
- Great Smoky Mountains National Park
- Gulf Islands National Seashore
- Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
- Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve

"Maintaining over 18,000 miles of trails is no small task," said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of NPF. "The Active Trail funds help parks across the country create or expand vital trail related projects, improving the visitor experience and encouraging engagement opportunities with each parks' gateway community."
