Rosedale, In. – The first 2.6 mile phase of the Parke County Community Trail was officially opened Tuesday. The trail stretches from Big Raccoon Creek through Rosedale and to the Vigo County line along portions of the former Vandalia Railroad. A bridge on the trail is made from an old train car. This section of the trail was constructed with the help of a $5 million grant from the Department of Natural Resources. When the trail is complete it will stretch more than eight miles long between the Rockville Depot and the Vigo County line, connecting multiple cities in the process.
