National Road Heritage Trail: Lewisville

The NRHT in Lewisville

Mile ½; NRHT in Lewisville

The main trailhead for the Lewisville section of the NRHT is near the South Henry Regional Wastewater District in Lewisville, a block west and about 800 feet south of the traffic light. There is a small parking area on the east side of the road. The trail proceeds west along the blacktop just south of the wastewater plant's fence and ends at County Road 125W. The first 2.3 miles has a crushed limestone base, suitable for foot or fat-tire bicycle traffic, and extends past County Road 25W. The last .7 miles is unimproved but is suitable for foot travel and may be passable by bike. Please be very careful at road crossings. This is a new trail and drivers will likely not be expecting you.
