Description:
Shooting Star State Trail is currently 15 miles long, an 8-foot-wide asphalt path from Le Roy (east) to the Adams City Park (west). It follows an abandoned railroad be of the Milwaukee Road, which once stretched from the Midwest through the Rocky Mountains. Check back during summer 2011 for updated information on an additional, 7-mile extension, west toward Rose Creek. The earthmoving and bridge work are complete and paving is underway. The trail includes bike racks and rest benches in key places along the route.

There are plans to extend the trail even farther west to Austin.

Hot Humid Day...
By bjcarl74 in July, 2011
I rode this trail with my wife and 4 kids- oldest being 11. We started in Adams, which was good because the trail goes very slightly uphill all the way to LeRoy. There was a little rest stop in Taopi, and of course in LeRoy. The trail was not very shady at all- but where there was shade it was really nice.

Nice trail- we will definitely do it again!
