The description above is inaccurate, as this trail most certainly used to be a railroad. I'd know; the house I grew up is right on the trail! My parents joked that as a kid, I could hear a train coming from miles away.
At any rate, while this trail is short, it does go places: shopping areas, a neighborhood park and homes are accessible on the western end. When you cross Chatham Road, there is access to more shopping areas, including a postal station, several restaurants and my favorite: the beer store!
At the eastern terminus, there is a short jog farther east where you can then hookup to the Interurban Trail, which heads south to Chatham. With the opening of the MacArthur crossing, a round trip on the Wabash and Interurban trails goes about 22.5 miles.

"The work at Woodside Road is now finished. The Wabash and Interurban trails are fully connected--and ""bladable"" from end to end."
By Dennis Camp in June, 2004
"The trail now connects to the Interurban Trail, giving almost 10 miles of paved riding. When a brief hiatus at Woodside Road is finished--hopefully in a few weeks--the trail will be complete for bladers as well. The trail is located on an old railroad bed."
