The trail was built at a cost of $1,030,554 million, and opened in July 2019.[1][2] It uses an abandoned rail corridor formerly owned by the Illinois Central Railway, which was acquired by Monroe County as part of a land swap with the city of Bloomington, Indiana.[3]
There were originally plans to build a trail called the Limestone County Trail on the abandoned rail corridor, but plans were scrapped in 1996 after multiple neighboring landowners sued Monroe County to prevent construction and reclaim ownership of the railbed.[4][5]
