Evening Bike Ride at the Baldwin Rail Trail
Details
Come join the Outdoorsy Team on a leisurely Sunday evening bike ride. You're already going to be off from work the next day, so no excuse not to join!
The Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail is a 100-foot-wide Right-of-Way (ROW) currently extending approximately 14.5 miles from Imeson Road in Jacksonville to the Town of Baldwin. A 12’ wide paved trail currently exists for hikers, bikers and roller-bladers to enjoy. An equestrian trail parallels the paved trail. The ROW is flat and passes through rural areas with abundant plant life, wildlife and trees.
The trail is contiguous with the Camp Milton Historic Preserve, which serves as a mid-point trailhead. Five other trailheads along the Rail Trail are located at Imeson Road, Halsema Road, Otis Road, the old trail depot in the City of Baldwin, and Brandy Branch Road. There are approx. 8.5 miles of spur trails onto the Jacksonville Rail Trail Buffer Properties that are designated for unpaved day hiking and equestrian use.
Check out the map and brochure for more information.
This is an easy paved trail for all to enjoy! If you want to rollerblade instead, bring it on!
We will begin at 1800 Imeson Road and travel to the town of Baldwin and back. If we complete the entire trail, it will be approx. 30 miles.
Bring plenty of water, a snack and protective gear, if available.
If there is interest, we can meet for a late dinner/snack afterward.
