Both of these are definitely not copies of OSM data. The trail has more detail in OSM and they are offset from each other by several meters. And theirs doesn't go across the river. It is ridiculous to think that google is going to take our data and make that many changes to it before putting it up on google maps. The two or three instances where it was confirmed that google copied OSM data (unknowingly through a 3rd company) the shape of objects was *identical* not just close. And google fixed it very quickly once they were made aware of it. So nothing to see here.
