Bike, walk, rollerblade: Heritage Trail offers a fun, safe way to get some exercise
Staff report
The Tribune-Star
TERRE HAUTE —
Don’t just sit there. Hit the trail.
With summer is in full swing, the National Road Heritage Trail offers venues for biking, walking, rollerblading and bicycling across eight Indiana counties from Illinois to Ohio. No excuses are necessary to get out and enjoy the scenery while exercising or just taking it easy.
Vigo County’s portion of the trail spans 5.8 miles from 13th and Spruce streets to the Twigg Rest Area on U.S. 40. Plans are under way for the trail to eventually link Illinois to Ohio via Indiana’s Vigo, Clay, Putnam, Hendricks, Marion, Hancock and Wayne counties.
According to IndianaTrails.org, most of the trail follows the abandoned Terre Haute, Brazil & Eastern (also Vandalia) railroad line that also connected to Indianapolis.
Information and a map of the Vigo County portion of the trail is at www.indianatrails.org/National_Road_TH.htm.
So put down your newspaper, mouse or remote and get out and enjoy the great outdoors. You might be missing a lot of fun.
