While visiting Eufaula for a week, my wife and I walked the trail each morning. What a wonderful way to get the day started. We parked downtown across the street from the Chamber of Commerce, which was great, because we could park under a shade tree. The trail has wonderful views of the lake, especially when crossing the old railroad bridge. There are several benches for a rest stop if needed. There is also a picnic area with tables and some other off trail areas to explore.

I took my 7 year old daughter and had a great afternoon. We started at the chamber of commerce and biked the length of the trail to the recreation complex where there is a large playground. She had fun there for a well over an hour. On the way back we stopped in and checked out a couple of the walking trails which were enjoyable as well. We especially liked the waterfall trail. I could tell I had a pretty good workout because after the riding and hiking I didn't feel guilty for having that large coke float. There are a few hills which require some effort to climb so small kids may have some difficulty but overall it is pretty easy to negotiate. They did a great job laying the trail out and it is very enjoyable to ride. I belive it was about 3.5 to 3.75 miles from start to finish.

The trail starts out with a nice parking area and picnic area. As you go you will see (in order) a flower bed decorated with original cross ties and rails salvaged from the tracks - an original rr car weigh scale - a park area just above a waterfall including picnic tables - a nature trail going to a rare waterfall for this far south - a bald eagles nest - old rr crosings signs including the warning lights - two side trails going to the new and historic cemetery - a retaining wall dating back to the 1800's - great views of Lake Eufaula - a horizontal rock shelf that drips water year-round and then to an old rail road trestle where phase two RTT will start. Also there are other small attractions like blue bird houses, small off trail bridges and benches.
