The old Salem Railroad Trail opened in the summer of 2001. A brand new trail for hiking and biking is available for public use. Starting at 3rd and Grand Avenue in Salem, the trail is an 8 foot wide asphalt path traveling north for 4,000 feet along the Old Burlington Northern Railroad bed. It ends at the old timber trestle over Spring Creek near the MFA Bulk Plant just off Hwy 19 on the north edge of Salem. Motorized vehicles are prohibited.
