Reviewed 2026-10-22. Fresh foundation description confirms the main former-rail route descends into Troy City Park from Moscow. Retained county evidence describes paved main trail; city/foundation regional 28-mile descriptions include other trails and are not this course. Foundation closure/detour posts lack a clearly established applicability date in retained extraction; check current operator notices and turn before barriers rather than assume reopening. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
