Description
This rail trail is mostly gravel and starts off of the Hop River State Park Trail near Warren Ave and heads towards Rockville. Although the trail ends at Vernon Ave, a small trail continues across Vernon Ave for another 0.10 mile and ends with a short and steep dirt trail up to High St. This can be used to access the roads to get to the nearby Fox Hill Tower and Henry Park (Vernon Ave and McLean St can also be used as an alternate route instead of this short trail). Unlike the Hop River State Park Trail, there are not a lot of parking areas along this rail trail. The main parking area is off of Church St near the start of the trail.
