<p><em>Labeled (3) on the Nuttallburg Area Trails map</em></p> <h4><br /> Length</h4> <p>3.3 miles/5.31 km (One-way)</p> <h4>Difficulty</h4> <p>Easy</p> <h4>Trail type</h4> <p>Hiking and biking</p> <h4>Trail Description</h4> <p>This former rail line once connected the mines and communities up Keeneys Creek to Nuttallburg and the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway mainline. Enjoy a leisurely stroll or bike ride on this wide trail that criss-crosses the rugged mountain landscape at a 4% grade. Here it is easy to see how the rugged terrain was a great challenge to those who constructed this railroad line over 100 years ago. This trail crosses under the conveyor, plus several trestle bridges offer spectacular views of scenic mountain streams, like Short Creek. Trail connections can be made from this trail to the Conveyor Trail and Town Loop Connector Trail.</p> <h4><span style="color:#e74c3c;">Note</span></h4> <p><span style="color:#e74c3c;">Keeneys Creek Rail Trail is currently closed due to a dangerous washout. Please check back for updates. </span><br /> <br /> Lansing-Edmond Road and Keeneys Creek Road are both very small, curvy roads, including some single lane sections. Use caution while driving and be prepared to cooperate with other drivers; this may include reversing!</p> <h4>To reach the trailhead</h4> <p>This trail has two small trailhead parking areas on Keeneys Creek Road. To get to these parking areas, turn onto Lansing-Edmond Road (CO 5/82) off US 19 in Lansing, just north of Canyon Rim Visitor Center.
