The Rock Island Trail in Colorado Springs is a 6-mile long trail that follows the old railroad bed alongside Constitution Ave. It offers a mixture of concrete and asphalt surfaces, making it an easy ride or walk with a gradual slope. Managed by the El Paso County Parks Department, the trail connects to other popular trails in the area and has future plans to become part of the Legacy Loop.

Additionally, there are plans to extend the Rock Island Trail eastward to connect with El Paso County's Rock Island Regional Trail in Falcon. The 10.5-mile long Rock Island Regional Trail, constructed on the former Chicago and Rock Island Railroad Line, offers mostly gravel surfaces with some concrete segments. Picnic tables and benches are available along the trail, providing opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment of the scenic surroundings.

Know this first of all...the trail is not connected. The part going north from the trailhead in Falcon is NOT for road bikes. The trail is not paved. It's fine for crossovers or mountain bikes....
