Slippery Elm Trail: North Terminus

The Slippery Elm Trail is a 13-mile asphalt multi-use trail between Bowling Green and North Baltimore. This 13-mile trail is open for walking, bicycling and in-line skating. Trail users are asked to park at designated locations. Parking and access points are available at various intersections along the Trail. The Cricket Frog Cove and the Rudolph Savanna areas are accessible from the SET and provide trail users the opportunity for activities such as hiking, bird watching and youth fishing. Bike fix-it stations are located at every depot along the Slippery Elm Trail.

This trail extends along the former CSX Railroad between Bowling Green and North Baltimore. The name of this park comes from the material used to construct Wood County’s early railroad tracks which were made of timber from the Slippery Elm trees rather than steel. To prepare the site for park use, a huge community effort was organized in April 1992 to clean up years of garbage that had been dumped along the tracks including refrigerators, tires, water heaters, washers, dryers, bottles and cans.  With an average of 275 users per day, the trail is the park district’s most utilized park!
