Railtrails

Railtrails are converted former railway corridors repurposed into recreational paths for walking, biking, and other outdoor activities. These trails typically feature flat terrain and scenic routes, making them accessible and popular for outdoor leisure, commuting, and community events. The transformation preserves the corridor’s historic and transportation significance while promoting local tourism, healthy lifestyles, and conservation of natural landscapes. Railtrails often include amenities like signage, benches, and crosswalks, fostering safe and enjoyable experiences for users of all ages. They serve as valuable community assets that balance preservation with recreational and environmental benefits.
