At the start of the rail Road Trail as accessed from the Feeder Canal. The left side has been scraped and painted to cover graffiti.

The first segment is grass, but fairly smooth and not to hard to ride on.

The next portion is paved, originally the City of rock Falls or whomever intended this path to go all the way from the hennepin Feeder Canal to Route 30, so why they paved this section from McNeil road, about a half mile, I don't know. it would be nice if it was paved all the way to the feeder. But this trail is rarely used and is unknown to many.
