Summary: The Iron Horse Trail is a rails-to-trails project that partially follows a canal. It is super long and you can do a long run at any number of points along the trail. It is generally easy to follow, just look for the signs. This specific version starts near my home in Dublin and runs one-way up to Walnut Creek.
