Rail trails

Rail trails are paths created by repurposing old railway corridors into recreational routes for walking, cycling, running, and sometimes horseback riding. They typically feature flat terrain and scenic surroundings, making them accessible for a wide range of users. These trails often preserve historic railway structures like bridges or stations, and they promote outdoor activity, transportation, and conservation by converting unused rail lines into public assets. Rail trails help connect communities, support tourism, and provide environmentally friendly alternatives to motorized travel, making outdoor recreation safer and more enjoyable.
