Great trail to ride on. It has numerous trailheads along it that a person can park at if they do t have enough time to complete it all in one day. The scenery is breathtaking g and relaxing.
I only rode this 5 miles from the TH by the bar “The Rail,” but it was very pleasant. The trail starts out being paved but turns to limestone approximately 1 mile. There were turkeys and their babies within that one mile, which is partially shaded. The trail outside of Beatrice is well shaded for the first couple of miles. This makes for a cool breeze while hammering the pedals. You’ll cross four wooden bridges in those 5 miles, tracing Indian Creek part of the ways. I even spotted a fawn drinking from the creek. The only down side was the brush sticks out too far when crossing the roads. The city need to trim it. I highly recommend surfing Homestead “Express” Trail for a reconnection with nature and a blast into Gage County history!!
We were really impressed by this trail. Most of the 15 miles we rode out of Beatrice and back were wooded with shaded areas, so both the wind and the sun were tempered. The trail surface was great for our mountain bike tires, and I think most road bikes would be fine also. We really appreciated the beautiful rest areas with clean, usable restrooms. We’ll return to do the entire trail soon!
Closure near 14th to Old Chenney. From July 6 for 80 days.
All depending on wether you take this one north, or south it offers a decent challenge on the inclines.
This is one of my favorites because of the winding paths, and scenic areas. A peaceful ride with some ducks, and geese normally enjoying the day as well.
Not my favorite; but I use it to connect my longer rides.
I like the accessibility of this trail. The wide path, and easy inclines make for a nice trek to start my longer rides on.
Loved the hidden rivers and the work out stations! So enjoyed my walk/run!
-The West end of Murdock Trail begins mid-Lincoln, connecting to the Dietrich Trail at 48th street. Going East it's a paved surface. At Touzalin street it switches to Lincoln's first 10 ft wide concrete with 4 ft wide limestone surface beside it. Allows a soft surface for runners and paved for bikers with generous room to pass. At 70th St it switches to a mix of limestone and concrete running parallel to Mahoney city park. At 84th St. the overpass takes you out into the country for a serene ride with shade off & on, many birds singing, a bridge with steps down to the stream below, past alpaca's grazing in a pasture to 84th st. It's a gem of a trail, I only wish it went farther but grateful it's available to us.
I love Rock Island Trail! It is my go-to trail for running. When I am training for marathons, this trail is a perfect location and stretches a length that allows for a really nice long run. I like that it is shady and peaceful, but also that it is so widely used. I feel safe on this trail.
I would like to inquire about the possibility of having a porta-potty option along this trail, perhaps located near the Penny Bridges. There are no year-round bathroom options along this trail north of the gas station at Old Cheney Rd.
This is just a friendly suggestion. I really do appreciate this great trail and all trails in Lincoln!
