Riverton Rail Trails Details
The Riverton Rail Trail is a relic of its namesake, urban rail lines that once connected the city as the main mode of transportation. Today, the flat, dirt route runs 1.5 miles through Portland and is informally known as "Sandy Road." Passing through woodland and a few rocky areas, the path still mainly follows the same route as the current running rail lines. They are often heard as they pass by delivering freight across the state and country.
