About

Maintained by Joshua Rosenberg4 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Rail trail data from the excellent 'TrailLink' website, sponsored by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy https://www.traillink.com/. Includes information (such as name, length, surface, reviews, and trailhead latitude and longitude) on 3,846 trails and 24,413 reviews in every state in the United States. Data can be used to better understand recreational trail use in the United States and for examples / teaching, particularly examples and teaching involving hierarchical or repeated measures data.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/railtrails/railtrails_0.1.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "railtrails_0.1.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("jrosen48/railtrails")

Development version from jrosen48/railtrails. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
