| The Kaskaskia College Alumni & Friends Fitness Trail opened in April 2012. The trail is 8’ wide and 0.8 mile long (including the East Trailhead connection) and features ten fitness stations. |
The trail is open to the general public, seven days a week
from dawn to dusk. No class enrollment or usage fee is required.
