nothing more than a large parking area. Yet,
the entire rail-trail has been infused with
history dating back to the 17th century
Spanish Explorers. The trail head show-
cases a progression through the history of
power, starting out in Nebraska City with a
coal power plant and ending in Brownsville
at a nuclear power plant.

   At the Peru trail head, there is the
option for the user to exit the rail-trail and
grab a bite to eat in the historic downtown
or visit the historical Peru State College.
Traveling on to Brownsville on the rail-trail,
distinct landmarks indicate the arrival of the
Brownsville State Recreation Area where the
option of fishing presents itself to the user
and is another example of the wonderful
sometimes surprising recreational
opportunities that a rail-trail can present.
