The Great American Rail-Trail® will be the nation’s first cross-country multiuse trail—a route that is entirely bikeable and separated from vehicle traffic across 3,700 miles between Washington State and Washington, D.C. Already, this cross-country route, a signature project of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, is inspiring enthusiasm about trails in new and exciting ways. From the communities invigorated by the economic and local potential of the trail to the people who have embarked on the cross-country journey, people are celebrating the completed segments and drawing attention to the need to complete the route quickly so that it’s full potential can be realized.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and our partners at the Cardinal Greenway, the Nickel Plate Trail and the Adventure Cycling Association, will host a 3-day bicycle tour of the route in Indiana, traveling over 100 miles between Richmond and Rochester.

READ MEDIA ADVISORY

The tour will depart from Richmond, Indiana, on September 13 and end in Rochester, Indiana, on September 15. Each day, tour participants will have the opportunity to experience local gems, connect with local business owners and leaders, and get to know each of the towns along the route in the most intimate way possible—from the seat of a bicycle.
