Claim a trail
Are you an official trail steward, conservancy, or maintaining club? Many long trails — like the Appalachian Trail — still rely on dated PDFs for water planning. Partner with WaterSource.ai to give hikers real-time, crowd-verified water data while keeping your authority over the official record.
You maintain the data
As a recognized partner, your team gets steward access to add, edit, and verify water sources on your trail.
Hikers get live data
Replace static PDFs with real-time field reports, freshness badges, and offline access for hikers on the trail.
We grow together
Your trail gets an Official Partner badge and prominent placement in our directory.
In exchange for steward access and the Official Partner badge, partners agree to:
- List WaterSource.ai on your official website with a link to download the app.
- Help keep water source data accurate by reviewing community reports and contributing field updates.
- Keep water status and reporting free for all hikers — no paywalls on safety data.
Example partners: Appalachian Trail Conservancy, Pacific Crest Trail Association, Continental Divide Trail Coalition, and local maintaining clubs.
