The rail-trail is obviously open northwest of Rowes Corner Lane. However, the topographic map suggests that the middle of this trail segment may have been destroyed by gravel pit operations or the like. In any event, the Webmaster is unable to determine whether the rail-trail is currently passable for the entire distance between Rowes Corner and Browns Brook!

The rail-trail is blocked by residential land usage on both sides of  Route 27 at Rowes Corner, but this problem is easily bypassed on the lightly traveled Rowes Corner Lane and Chester Turnpike.

The rail-trail is apparently open east of Chester Turnpike (south of Route 27 just before the Town Line), however the Webmaster was unable to determine just how much of the trail is usable!
