Section 1 of the trail encompasses approximately 8 miles, and spans from the State Route 605 (Bloomsbury Road) trailhead to State Route 610 (Indiantown Road). The trail is clear and the historic railroad ties are removed. The natural surface is even and good for walking, hiking, biking, and running. The first four miles are particularly well used, maintained, and are suitable for strollers and children.

Rt. 609 Road Crossing: Located at 9274 Comorn Road - there is a small parking lot on west side which can hold 6 cars. From Rt. 3 East, turn left onto Comorn Road, take the right side of the fork, and then turn into the gravel parking lot on the left side of the road.

Section 2

General Information
Section 2 of the trail begins at 6493 Indiantown Road (State Route 610) and continues to Panorama Drive within The Meadows residential subdivision off State Route 206. The first mile segment of this trail section is leveled and surfaced with stone dust. This segment is terrific for strollers as well as children with bicycles and is perfect for easy walking as well as hiking and running. The rest of this trail section is clear, and the railroad ties have been removed, but the entirety of the section has not been completely leveled and stone dust has not been laid in all spots.
Parking & Access
Rt. 610 crossing: Up to 5 vehicles may park off the road, on the east side of the trail.
Notes:  There is no public trail access from The Meadows (all roads are private). Roads along Rt. 218 (Salisbury Retreat, Abingdon Lane, etc.) are also all private.
Please be sure to park completely off the road and do not trespass on neighboring property.

Section 3 of the trail begins approximately 4 miles from Panorama Drive in The Meadows subdivision and continues to just off Rt. 624 at Owens Drive.
Parking & Access
There is a small parking lot where the trail crosses Owens Drive with room for 3 cars on each side of the road. There is no public trail access from Little Ark Baptist Church on Rt. 624, and trail users are not authorized to access the trail property that passes adjacent to the church's cemetery. A temporary bypass has been created to go off the trail and around the cemetery. Please follow the flagged trail to the north side of the existing rail bed. A pipe blocks the trail at the western side of the bypass, and the eastern end is just past a private driveway.
