Trestle Park, 11101 Summit Ave NE, Rockford

This fieldstone culvert was built in 1885 to bolster a wooden trestle. The railroad is gone, the trestle is buried, and this park now connects to the White Pine Trail on which you can walk for miles. The culvert seems well maintained except for the local tagging (the 'no snow' photos are from March 29, 2021).  The view from the top. We visited the park twice in February. View from the road behind it (as close as we could get). Old railroad markers and white pines can be seen on the aptly named trail. You are walking on and/or viewing a piece of history each time you visit the park or walk the trail.   We are happy a part of this railroad history was preserved.
