First time I have been on the trail. The section we rode on is around 15 miles long.

Good map here... http://www.ipp.org/pdf/IPP-free-map-color.pdf

According to Wikipedia the trail connects to over 500 miles of rail trails

Thanks for the info. I don't know how we missed that when we were there last year. Guess I was so set on riding the Lakefront trail, didn't think to look for anything else.

No problem, I have to admit I didn't know anything about it till a few weeks ago.

Maybe someday I will ride it all the way to Iowa. :mrgreen:
