The NRHT in Raysville
Raysville is the small town just across the Big Blue River and directly east of Knightstown on the south side of US 40. The trailhead for the Raysville section of the NRHT is at the SE corner where West Street, Star Blvd., and Church Street converge. The trail proceeds uphill from the parking lot on blacktop then east for 1¾ miles on a crushed limestone base, suitable for foot or fat-tire bicycle traffic.
The trail is mostly wooded, quiet, and secluded. The last half-mile opens up a bit, with less cover overhead, and runs close to but still mostly out of sight of US40. It ends about ¼ mile west of County Road 425W. There is no access from the east.
