Book Description
Across the country, more than 1400 unused railroad corridors have been converted to level, public, multiuse trails, where people can enjoy a brisk fitness walk, bike ride, or stroll with the family. This newest edition, in the popular series from Wilderness Press and the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, presents the best of the Great Lakes rail-trails. With 120 rural, suburban, and urban trails threading through nearly 2300 miles, Rail-Trails Midwest: Great Lakes covers Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Many rail-trails are paved and run through the most popular parts of town, such as Indianapolis, Indiana's 15-mile Monon Trail, which has become a bustling city playground, and the 61-mile Illinois Prairie Path, which links Chicago-area suburbs. Others take you back in time for a look at regional history, like Ohio's 11-mile Holmes County Trail, whose corridor is shared by local Amish who run their horse-and-buggies on an adjacent path. And some take you out of the city to discover new worlds, including a tour through Wisconsin's "Little Switzerland" on the 23-mile Sugar River Trail. - This two-color book includes succinct descriptions of each trail from start to finish, plus at-a-glance summary information indicating permitted uses, surface type, length, and directions to trailheads for each trail.
- Every trip has a detailed map that includes start and end points, trailhead, parking, restroom facilities, and other amenities.
- Many of the level rail-trails are suitable for walking, jogging, bicycling, inline skating, wheelchairs, and horses.
