Lake Minneola Scenic Trail - Clermont Trail
Though these were actually constructed as separate trails, one is a direct continuation of the other along the same lake. This is a very pleasant, mostly urban trail, with higher hills than any other rail trail in Florida. Though they’re only on the east end, and don't really require very much effort, they can still produce some fast speeds on the downhills. The lake views on the western side are spectacular during sunsets and very pretty the rest of the time. Though subject to high winds during storms, this is a nice trail for all levels of riders and will become particularly attractive for long rides when connected to the West Orange Trail in the east and General James A. Van Fleet State Trail in the west. This is also one of the few trails with streetlights on most portions.

New York - Wallkill Valley Rail
Since 1991, hundreds of local residents and visitors have discovered
the joy and beauty of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, a scenic and
peaceful 12.2-mile stretch between Gardiner and New Paltz in Ulster
County.
A century ago, the Wallkill Valley Railroad signified machines and
speed; today, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail signifies escape from
machines and speed. While the railroad once symbolized power over
nature, the rail trail now symbolizes identification with nature. And
while the railroad once facilitated travel to distant places, the rail trail
suggests a future in which we can enjoy what is in our own back
yards.

Ohio - Huron River Greenway
The Huron River Greenway is a project undertaken by the Erie
(County) MetroParks as a linear park whose main feature is a
multi-purpose trail constructed primarily on abandoned railroad
right-of-way along the Huron River and the historic Milan Canal.
The first 1.3 mile section of the Greenway trail is now open. The
entrance is at the DuPont Marsh State Nature Preserve, 2 miles
south of Huron on River Road (off U.S. 6 east of Huron River)

existing county or city roadways will be constructed on the north and
south ends of the park linking the City of Huron, the Village of Milan
in Erie County and, eventually, the City of Norwalk in Huron County.
