Rail Trail

Overview

Ride in either direction as an alternative to Reservoir Road. Mostly easy, there are a few places that will get your attention where the RR grade has eroded away over the years. The park has rebuilt a partial replica of a rail trestle at the site of a historic fatal train accident.
