I only know of the term trailhead as I've seen it used in the infobox on
Wikipedia, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Highland_Way
That route has trailheads at Milngavie (bonus points for pronouncing it
correctly): https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5819237 and Fort William:
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3237567
Also in Scotland the Fife Coastal Path has an arch like this at each end
of its route:

(don't know if there's information boards as well)

Can you give a few examples of what trailheads are to you? There's a
clearly defined American concept, it isn't not really used much in
British English. Also what do you mean by "official" below - is there
some kind of VVV list or similar?

I would like to revive the trailhead proposal,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/trailhead
After discussions in the Dutch user community, a list of all Dutch
trailheads was compiled and systematically entered as nodes tagged
highway=trailhead, name=<official trailhead name>,
tourism=information, information=board or map. Many trailheads were
already present in OSM, there we just did some additional tagging.
In the US, trailheads are all maintained on OSM by a national
operator. Japan has lots of trailheads, I don't know how they are
maintained. In Europe, no systematical OSM-tagging appears to take
place, except for the Dutch base.
I think it deserves a push.
Any thoughts on the matter?
