Rail trails are a great alternative to standard hiking (foot) paths, often over easier, graded terrain, while still offering a dive into the wooded wilderness. Often available for multi-uses year-round, Rail Trails are a fantastic place to enjoy a quiet trail run, hike, snowshoe, ski, or bike. Take a stroll along a historic railroad corridor and see the countryside from a new perspective!
