Route Description:

A very scenic and low-traffic 400K route, primarily using Rail Trails with bike route road connectors between the trail systems. The trails are paved and make up about 70% of the route.
The route starts in Kokomo, IN and takes the Industrial Heritage/Nickel Plate trail North to Rochester IN. The route then returns South on the Nickel Plate to Cassville, IN before taking a short road route to Converse, IN and connecting with the Sweetser Switch Cardinal Greenway trail system.. This section goes through several towns, including Marion, before taking another short road connector to Gaston, IN and the Cardinal Greenway. Riders will take the Cardinal Greenway to the Losantville turn around. From Losantville, riders will take the same route back to Cassville before heading South on the Nickel Plate/Industrial Heritage Trail to the start/finish in Kokomo.
Services are readily available at the Controls, as well as the towns the trails pass through. There are also rest stops on the trails (restrooms, shelters, and bike repair stands).
