Bike the Baldwin Rail Trail
Details
Join us for a Veteran’s Day bike ride!
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 equestrain use.

This is an easy trail for all to enjoy!
We will begin at 1800 Imeson Road and travel to the town of Baldwin and back. In all, we will bike approximately 30 miles. Completing the entire trail isn’t required- just head back when you’re finished!
Bring plenty of water, a snack and protective gear, if available.
