Vienna, Il trails

[Rowan, Larry]

I see that Vienna Illinois has over 60 miles of trails that include a tunnel and trestles.  Have any SBCrs ridden there?  Is it worth the drive?

Yes, you’re referring to the great Tunnel Hill Trail, from Harrisburg to Vienna and beyond. It’s mostly in the Shawnee National Forest, where the roads are great, too, if sometimes challenging. Totally worth the drive. I would drive down there just to ride, then my wife turned out to be from southern Illinois, so in-law visits have been a treat for years now. Great hiking down there, too; endless hiking trails (but Tunnel Hill is the primary trail for biking).

Where in Illinois is your wife from Neil?   I grew up

In a little town called Fredericktown, Missouri.  I just looked up Vienna, Illinois.  It’s 97 miles from my hometown.  Missouri is quite hilly.  Also lots of copperheads and ticks.   I don’t miss them.  However that part of the USA is very beautiful.    And like you said some great places to hike.   For us wine drinkers they have lots of wineries down there.   They have a wine trail you can do.  Everyone should go eat at Lambert’s.  The Home
