ADT on
Wabash
Trace Rail-Trail
|
The American Discovery Trail (ADT) connects
with six national scenic trails, 10 national historic trails, 23 national
recreational trails and hundreds of local and regional trails. It connects
14 national parks and 16 national forests.
The ADT crosses California, Nevada,
Utah, Colorado, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Washington
D.C., and Delaware.
The goal is to route the American
Discovery Trail entirely off-road. The routing will continue to be flexible
and subject to change.

Tom Neenan is Iowa ADT coordinator and a member of the ADT board.
