List of rail trails#New Zealand
{{Short description|none}}
Rail trails are former railway lines that have been converted to paths designed for pedestrian, bicycle, skating, equestrian, and/or light motorized traffic. Most are multiuse trails offering at least pedestrians and cyclists recreational access and right-of-way to the routes.[http://www.in.gov/dnr/trailsplan/pdf/trailsplan.pdf (PDF) Final Draft July, 2006 The Indiana State Trails, Greenways and Bikeways Plan] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926225506/http://www.in.gov/dnr/trailsplan/pdf/trailsplan.pdf |date=2007-09-26 }} at Indiana Trails Plan (DNR)
