This 3-mile
trail is located on Springfield's southwest side. It follows an
old railroad right-of-way that is also used as an overhead electrical
transmission corridor. The trail begins near the intersection
of MacArthur Boulevard and Wabash Avenue. It continues west to
Park Avenue where a parking lot trail head is provided. It continues
west across Chatham Road and Veterans Parkway and terminates at
Robbins Road.
The trail
extends along residential, commercial and some industrial land
uses. Along the route, Wabash Trail passes by Vredenburgh and Westchester
parks. These parks could be used as trail heads providing parking
and other facilities for people using the trail.
