The paved Root River State Trail spans 42 miles from Fountain to Houston, following the scenic Root River. Built on an abandoned railroad, the trail is mostly level and wheelchair accessible, with the exception of a steep half-mile stretch between Vinegar Ridge and Houston. Walking/hiking biking, in-line skating, skiing, and wheelchairs are all allowed on this trail. As part of the Blufflands Trail System, the trail offers stunning views of the limestone bluffs of the Root River Valley, and passes through historic towns nestled in the hills, rolling farmlands, old milling areas, and remnants of the railroad era. There are also wildlife viewing opportunities; you might see deer, hawks, wild turkeys, and the occasional rattlesnake. There are also historical sites, campgrounds, bed-and-breakfasts, restaurants, museums, and unique shops along the way.
