Get in 3.08 miles of hiking or biking on the Iron Horse Trail! This former railroad right-of-way once connected Alliance to Minerva. The limestone surface trail begins at the First Christian Church (FCC)  and continues south to Cenfield St.  A northern connection from the FCC Trailhead uses an on-road route through a neighborhood to a short section of trail before ending at Clark Ave.

Hit the trail with your pet! Just remember that dogs must be leashed at all times, and owners must dispose of pet waste.
