Rail-Trails: Hall of Fame
eBook version for immediate download - PDF format for use on most tablets and smartphones
The Official Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Guidebook for 29 of the country's most iconic rail-trails.
All across the country, unused railroad corridors have been converted to public
multiuse trails. In 2007 Rails-to-Trails Conservancy began recognizing exemplary rail-trails through its Rail-Trail Hall of Fame based on scenic value, amount of use, amenities, historical significance, excellence in management and maintenance, community connections, and geographic distribution.
These Hall of Fame rail-trails are found in 28 states and in nearly every environment—from downtown urban corridors to pathways stretching across wideopen prairie, along coastlines, or through mountain ranges. These rail-trails represent pioneers of the movement; they inspired trail development across the nation, or they’ve revolutionized how trails can impact communities along their routes.
In this book, you'll find:
-
Detailed maps for every rail-trail
-
Driving directions to trailheads
-
Icons indicating each trail's use
-
Succinct descriptions written by the rail-trail experts
