Descrption:
Begins behind Crawfordsville High School on eastern end. Follows a hilly
stretch of SR32 and connects to R R Donnelley & Sons on west edge
of city while meandering along a branch of Sugar Creek. Trail has a short
(but confusing, see map link below) shared-road route between the Donnelley
trailhead and the 2.2 mile western section, which follows the former Conrail
corridor. A short limestone "rail-with-trail" leads into a multi-use
10' asphalt trail. This section is a first-class example of a rail-trail
through a rural, wooded area. Near the western end is the Rock River Landing
trailhead, near Sugar Creek. The trail's dramatic western terminus is
the west bank of Sugar Creek, across the scenic NUCOR bridge.
Future Plans: The
trail will be extended another 1/2 mile to the west.
