In this edition in the popular series, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy presents the best of the Great Lakes rail-trails, home to the most rail-trails in the country. With 113 rural, suburban, and urban trails threading through nearly 2300 miles, Rail-Trails Midwest: Great Lakes covers Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Many rail-trails are paved and run through the most popular parts of town, such as the 61-mile Illinois Prairie Path, which links Chicago-area suburbs. Others take you back in time for a look at regional history, like Ohio's 11-mile Holmes County Trail. The Midwest has thousands of miles of rail corridor that have been turned into 360 rail-trails in the Great Lakes alone. Every trip has a detailed map that includes start and end points, trailhead, parking, restroom facilities, and other amenities. Many of the level rail-trails are suitable for walking, jogging, bicycling, inline skating, wheelchairs, and horses.

      Thank the not-for-profit Rails-to-Trails Conservancy for the hundreds of miles of railroad corridors that have now been converted to multi-use trails. They are marvelously graded pathways for walking, running, or biking, not to mention equestrian and wheelchair access (in many instances). Because these were once railway lines, they traverse urban, rural, and suburban regions. The conservancy has produced seven Rails-to-Trails guidebooks so far, covering New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, and now the Midwest Great Lakes region. Each has an accessible layout, offering precise access and contact information, with clear maps for each rail-trail, and descriptors for trail surface and roughness. Sites, attractions, and landmarks along the way are covered succinctly. A great resource that will invigorate staycation readers in the 23 states covered (plus Washington, DC).-Margaret Heilbrun, Library Journal
