The trail is one of my favorite places to ride my bike. Starting at Main Street it’s a 6,5 mile round trip. The trail is fine crushed stone and level.

Beautiful trail to go on walk, run, or bike ride. Route is mostly compacted dirt and grass (very enjoyable for running), but if you’re going on bike ride, make sure you have thicker wheels (mountain bike width probs appropriate).
In the summer, you’ll definitely want to bring bug spray, since there is lots of water to the sides of the route.
I’m not quite sure the entire length of the trail. I went for a jog, headed out 2.25 miles before coming back.
Oh and there’s plenty of parking at the trail’s head, which is awesome.

Rail trail is flat walking path about 3 miles in one direction. On one side is marshy swamp but very natural and Beatiful.
Parking lot is small but shouldn’t be an issue. Dog friendly and you can also bike as well. It’s suitable for all ages especially if you are looking for a chill scenic walk.
On the other side is a river. Oh yea spotted a ton of turtles resting on logs in the marsh.
Free to park.
