Terre Haute
The original NRHT has been an established project by the West Central
Indiana Economic District, Inc. in Terre Haute for a number of
years. It was this local trail that inspired the name and theme of the
cross-state initiative.
Open Trail
There are 7.2 miles of the trail open in Terre Haute, through the ISU campus downtown along 4th Street to the eastern city limits past the Twigg Rest Area to Chamberlain Road. Most of this trail follows the former Terre Haute, Brazil & Eastern (also Vandalia or Pennsy) rail corridor. Connected to this trail is the the Indiana Interpretative Trail, a unique one-mile trail loop around the Indiana State University stadium in the shape of the state of Indiana.
Future Plans
The
trail will be extended westward to the Wabash River. A potential 7-mile separated path trail route from the Wabash River to the Illinois State Line
was researched and highlighted by a civil engineering student design
team at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
