The Limestone Greenway follows the former Illinois Central Railroad for 1.7 miles south of Bloomington. It's a smooth, asphalt trail that's easy enough for people of all ages to enjoy. The pathway offers a rural, wooded experience, taking users under a lush tree canopy. At its northern trailhead on W. Church Lane, the Limestone Greenway connects to two other rail-trails for a longer journey: the Clear Creek Trail and the Bloomington Rail Trail (which in turn connects with the B-Line Trail).
A trailhead parking lot is available at the north end of the trail along W. Church Lane, 0.2 miles west of S. Roger Street.
My wife and I walk this trail several times a week and love it! It is mostly shaded and is a great place for walking, running, or riding a bike. It is a beautiful area, and very enjoyable.
Well marked trail that is lined with trees, limestone, and wildflowers. Perfect for running, walking, and biking. It passes a sewage treatment plant, so you might smell poop for a short time. One of my favorite places for a walk.
Short tree lined trail, great for a walk or bike ride. Hopefully they will continue to extend this trail over time. Does connect to Clear Creek trail. Great parking areas on Church.
