The trail runs along the former bed of a part of a railroad founded by Civil War General Ambrose Burnside. Later, the railroad became a branch line of the Southern Railway.

The trail connects to several trails including the River to River Trail; the Illinois southern route of the American Discovery Trail; the U.S. Bicycle Route 76 (part of the TransAmerica Bike Route); and the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail.
