Jamaica North Trail

The Jamaica North Trail is a 6.5-mile-long (10.5 km) pedestrian and cycling trail running through southwest Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.

Description
According to an October 2003 press release, the city of Lincoln purchased an 8.2 mi railway segment for $605,000. Construction began in May 2006, the groundbreaking ceremony took place in mid-June 2006, and the trail itself was slated to open in late October 2006.

The majority of the trail runs directly through Wilderness Park, a wooded area covering more than 1475 acre, which already featured a "recreational" (dirt) trail system of over 22 mi. The Jamaica North trail connects to the Homestead Trail, which will ultimately extend 72 mi from Lincoln's Haymarket District to Marysville, Kansas.

The trail's surface is composed of crushed limestone and asphalt.

The Jamaica North Trail follows the path of an abandoned Union Pacific Railroad segment which ran through the historic town of Jamaica, Nebraska, near Saltillo Road.
