FIRELANDS RAILS TO TRAILS, INC.

What is the Huron County Rail Trail?

Firelands Rails to Trails, Inc. is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 all volunteer organization dedicated to completing the rail trail across Huron County.  This will become part of the North Coast Inland Trail (NCIT), large portions of which are already enjoyed by families in adjacent counties across Northern Ohio.

Firelands Rails to Trails, Inc. was formed for the promotion of and development of this linear park. Other trails have been developed by all-volunteer organizations which have mustered the support of interested citizens to help with donations, engineering expertise, equipment and labor.

Firelands Rails to Trails acts on behalf of The Northwest Ohio Rail Trail Association and park districts in five nearby counties which currently own approximately 14.8 miles of former Penn Central railroad property stretching through the northern part of Huron County.  The property varies from about 60 feet wide to about 400 feet wide and the total acreage of the land already owned is about 136 acres.

All over the United States such linear parks are being developed for recreational use.  Your support of this trail system will provide a safe, clean, and picturesque route for bike riders, walkers, and joggers. The NCIT is the only public equestrian trail in Huron County.   Trail Rules here...

The NCIT provides an affordable, outdoor avenue which complements the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services Healthy People 2010 (HP2010) project which is a ten-year health promotion
program for improving the health of all Americans.
