This trail runs 17.7 miles (28.5 km) from Hammond to Crown Point. It follows the former Erie Lackawanna Railway which closed was abandoned in 1986. You cycle through green countryside and several towns. It's paved and smooth – a great place to ride!

Such a clean trail and I noticed that the motorists all yielded the right of way to my nephew and I at all of the intersections.
