VANDALIA RAIL TRAIL (WESTERN PORTION)

Joins us for a scenic hike! Meet at the Amo trailhead located at 5042 South St. for a moderately paced 6-mile out and back to Coatesville on mostly flat paved trails. A canopy of trees along this paved section of the trail and a bridge that spans Crittenden Creek provides natural scenery. This section of the Vandalia Trail is part of the National Road Heritage Trail, a 150-mile continuous system of multi-use trails that spans the state along the former Pennsylvania/Vandalia railroad corridors. From 1- 465 W, take US 40 traveling through Plainfield to IN-39. Tum right onto IN-39 and follow 39 into Clayton. Tum left at Iowa St., go one block, tum right at W CR 500S and travel about 5 miles to the Amo trailhead. Amo is just under 10 miles from Danville. Bathrooms available. Leader: Terry Roesch (317-910-2943-cell)
