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 trail that inspired the name and theme of the
cross-state project.
Open Trail
There are 6 miles of the trail open in Terre Haute, from Cherry Street and the ISU campus downtown to the eastern city limits at Twigg Rest Area. 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. Eastward from the Twigg rest Area, there are plans to continue the trail another 0.5 miles to Chamberlain Road.
