The Champaign County Forest Preserve will update the Kickapoo Rail Trail this fall.
With a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation and generous donors, seating areas, interpretive signage, directional signage, mile markers, bike parking, and a parking lot with a fix-it station in downtown St. Joseph will be added to the 24.5-mile trail that follows the former CSX (Conrail prior to CSX) railroad from East Urbana to Kickapoo State Park outside of Danville.
Most site work will be completed in the early fall, so caution is necessary on the trail while work proceeds. No significant trail closures are anticipated as a result of the work. Updates will be posted online at onekrt.org and on the Kickapoo Rail Trail Facebook and Instagram pages.
