Descrption:
The rail-trail portion of the loop, built on a former Pennsylvania line,
is an asphalt path which follows Clark Blvd between the levy and State
Street. The remainder of the loop uses paths along the Ohio River in Ashland
and Falls-of-the-Ohio SP, the top of the levy, and an on-street route.
Future Plans: Future
plans call for a trail along the abandoned CSX line to the north (see
map below), which will connect to New Albany and the developing Loop Island
Wetland area. The Ohio River Greenway, a public
works project by the Army Corp of Engineers, will follow the river from
Jeffersonville to New Albany. Completion of this trail may take several
years.
