Iron ton Rail Trail - Complete

Today's trail is the recently completed Ironton Rail Trail.  The original trail had a tunnel added and the 3 mile spur connects it to the North Whitehall Township ballfield.  This is one of my two "go to" trails if I want to go out for a ride but don't have a full day to devote.

A full trip on the trial is only about 12 miles and there are multiple places to join the trail.  The original trail is a loop so you end up where you started.  The spur is an out and back.  Most of the trail is either paved or very tightly packed gravel. 

One downside to this trail is that you have several street crossings... I'm not a fan of crossing roads but these aren't terribly busy so it's not too bad...
