The Russell Street to Patterson Street Trail links the two roads via a former railroad corridor in Tecumseh. Located in a residential area nearly equidistant between downtown Tecumseh to the north and the longer Kiwanis Trail to the south, the short paved path conveniently links the Cal Zorn Recreation Center—and its numerous athletic fields—with Tecumseh Acres Elementary School.
The rail-trail begins just a half mile south of a boarding area for the Southern Michigan Railroad (at Evans Street and Chicago Boulevard). The heritage railroad runs tourist trains between downtown Tecumseh and Clinton, offering several trips each year between spring and December.
Parking is available at the Cal Zorn Recreation Center (300 W. Russell Road) in Tecumseh. From the parking lot, head west on the sidewalk along W. Russell Road to reach the trail's southern endpoint.
Well kept short little ride to keep off the road.
