 An adequate resource guide to USA's Rail-Trails July 7, 2003
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
"1000 Great Rail-Trails" lists USA's rails-to-trails conversions throughout all 50 states and Washington, DC. About 2/3rds of the rail-trails have a smooth surface (asphalt or smooth gravel) acceptable to mosts trail users like bicycles, mountain bicycles, walkers, roller bladers and wheelchair users. The other 1/3rd tend to have a rougher gravel and/or ballast surface and could be difficlut to many trail users. The book is well organized with the listing of each trail featuring the name, length, surface, general location, address and/or phone number for each trail. Further information for detailed trail resources lacks.
 Not very informative... June 11, 2002

This publication is not much better than a phone book. It basicly states that such-and-such a trail exists, and gives some contact information. No mention of access points or parking - it even does not tell you where exactly the trailheads are... In the age of internet, I would consider such a book nearly useless.
 Nice Book May 31, 2000
