The Bloomington Rail Trail is a mostly dirt and crushed-gravel path that follows the rail bed of an old rail line. The trail is popularly used by runners, walkers, cyclists, and commuters since the trail connects to a couple other paths that travel across town. There are a couple different parking areas for this 2-mile path, so you have a couple different starting point options.
