Description
Dedicated on August 5, 2000, the Green Diamond Trail, the first bicycling/pedestrian trail in Montgomery County, is an easy, flat ride. At 4-miles long, the trail is paved and free from motorized traffic, making it an enjoyable path for bicylists, walkers and runners.
Partially funded by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the trail, located on an abandoned Illinois Central railroad corridor, is the first leg of a possible 16 miles of trails that will link Farmersville to Litchfield and beyond.
Parking and Trail Access
The trail is located in the panhandle area, with trail access at the south end of Cleveland Street in Farmersville and at the Historic Depot Park on Main Street in Waggoner.
Farmersville and Waggoner are just west of Interstate 55 and about 30 miles south of Springfield, Illinois.
