History

The original Erie-Lackawanna right-of-way was an important freight route through Lake County; although, with the decline of railroad traffic in the United States, the line was abandoned in 1986 by Conrail.[3] After it was abandoned, plans were made by Hammond's Parks and Recreation Department to develop the former right-of-way into a trail system.[4] The first portions of the Erie Lackawanna Trail were created in the mid-1990s, having been continually extended since then.[2]

The trail currently connects to the Monon Trail in downtown Hammond, and the Oak Savannah Trail in Griffith.[5] The Erie Lackawanna is in the vicinity of Pennsy Greenway in Schererville.[6] Today, the trail is a shared use path, complete with trailheads, park amenities, and local attractions near it.[7] It is currently the longest contiguous trail in Northwest Indiana.[8]
