But there are cases where the trail-head has a given and well known NAME.
So far I generally tag that on the parking area, but parking is not necessarily a requirement for having a trailhead.

The easy definition is: A place where you you officially enter or exit a wilderness area on a maintained trail or track *and* there is some kind of allowance for switching modes of transportation.


Many 'trailheads' in my area have no additional parking, nor do they have a shelter, bench, water, toilets etc. Some have a sign .. some do not.

To me a 'trailhead' is simply a place where I can enter or leave a trail that is officially condoned. Other things (like parking areas, toilets etc) should be marked with the appropriate tag. Oh .. some of the signs direct you to the local railway station .. about 2 miles walk away.
