Rail-Trails Midwest Great Lakes: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin

by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy

With 113 rural, suburban, and urban trails threading through 2,300 miles, Rail-Trails Midwest: Great Lakes covers Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Many rail-trails run through the most popular parts of town, such as the 61-mile Illinois Prairie Path, which links Chicago-area suburbs. Others take you back in time for a look at regional history, like Ohio’s 11-mile Holmes County Trail. Every trip has a detailed map that includes start and end points, trailhead, parking, restroom facilities, and other amenities. Many of the level rail-trails are suitable for walking, jogging, bicycling, inline skating, wheelchairs, and horses.

Great source for getting ideas but fortunately it is out of date. So many of the trails referenced here have been extended or upgraded. Technology, alas, has made such books relics. Get the TrailLink app or check out AllTrails.
