A rail trail is a shared-use path on a railway right of way. Rail trails are typically constructed after a railway has been abandoned and the track has been removed. Rail trails are primarily for non-motorised traffic, although snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, e-bikes, and e-scooters may be allowed.
