Descrption: Most
of this trail follows the former Terre Haute, Brazil & Eastern (also Vandalia)
RR, an abandoned east-west line which connected to Indianapolis. The Twigg
rest area serves as an historically remarkable trailhead (see below).
The trail continues as a bike lane west of 13th Street, then picks up
as an interesting urban pathway along 4th Street beside the ISU campus.
Future Plans: This
east-west trail is a part of the cross-state National
Road Heritage Trail initiative, which will connect to Indianapolis
and Richmond for a total of over 150 miles.
Phase III will add an intersecting north-south trail, known as the Deming
Park Pathway, linking North High School, Ohio Blvd., Deming Park, and
Dobbs Park.
