Run. Walk. Ride.
Multi-purpose recreational trail designed for pedestrians and bicyclists, traverses prairies, woodlands and wetlands as it winds between Oakwood and Danville.
Currently, two sections of the trail are completed, the three-mile path in Vermilion County over the trestle bridge and the 6.7-mile trail between Urbana and St. Joesph.
When completed, the Kickapoo Rail Trail will be a 24.5-mile trail that follows the former CXX/Contrail from Kickapoo State Recreation Area just outside of Danville to Urbana.
Features:
- the trail’s crown jewel, the Kickapoo Rail Trail Bridge, a renovated trestle bridge, soars 88 feet above the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River.
- The gentle grade, 10-foot width, and spectacular river views make it a new favorite for walkers, runners, cyclists, and people with wheelchairs and strollers.
- Parking and restrooms are available at the trailhead on US 150, west of Danville on Route 150 East, east of Oakwood.
