The Richard Martin Trail was ranked by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy as the No. 11 trail in the nation in its July rankings. The trail is located in Elkmont and is known for its history and its contribution to the community.
Also referred to as the Limestone Rail-Trail, this route is a total of 10.2 miles. It begins in Elkmont and goes both north and south from there. The trail endpoints include Veto Road at the Tennessee/Alabama border and Delaney Road at County Road 81. Trail-goers can either walk, bike, or horseback ride through the trail all while experiencing the sites and sounds of Alabama wildlife. Dogs are also allowed on the trail.
The
communities that the trail winds through also play a big part to the
trail's success. The Elkmont Lions Club and Elkmont High School both use
the trail. Because of its low-maintenance characteristics, the trail is
home to many events and festivals.
