Sangamon Valley Trail
The Sangamon Valley Trail in New Berlin, IL offers a picturesque 5.5-mile segment that opened in 2011, running between Centennial Park and Stuart Park in Springfield. Managed by the Springfield-Sangamon County Regional Planning Commission, the trail features a 6-mile extension opened in 2017, providing scenic bridges over the Sangamon River and a mostly shaded route for outdoor enthusiasts.
Following the abandoned right-of-way of the old St. Louis, Peoria and North Western Railway, the Sangamon Valley Trail is a rail-trail in western Sangamon County that will eventually link Girard and Athens. With trail access at street crossings and parking available at its endpoints, the trail offers a peaceful and enjoyable outdoor experience for walkers, runners, and cyclists alike.
