In this paper Trail set is defined for a finite connected graph G and it is found that the set of all trail sets ȶ(G) together with empty set partially ordered by set inclusion relation forms a lattice. Also derived graph of G, denoted by Gd is defined such that lattices ȶ(G) and ȶ(Gd) are isomorphic. Some of the properties of the lattices so obtained are studied. The definition of trail sets is extended to directed graphs and studied.
