"Loooooove this area! Depot Park is our hidden gem of a secret garden!"
"Start at the Visitor’s Center. There is sufficient parking and across the street you can get a great breakfast at Otto’s Place. Go to the south end of the lot and the trail begins in the woods. Where the path comes to an end, take a right, and you can ride through the wooded area along the river. We were there in June 2024. The Trail needed work and it might have been due to rain and flooding, I’m not sure. There were some potholes and loose gravel that were somewhat dangerous. It would certainly be nice to have the trail paved, but I know that’s expensive. It really just needs some maintenance and hopefully that is on their agenda. I’ve attached pictures of the welcome center and Otto‘s place the east side of the river. It wouldn’t hurt to use bug spray depending on the day."
"Nice trail made from an old railroad bed."
"Scenic trail offers beautiful views of Galena's Main Street. We walked with our dogs and did 2 miles of the trail. The trail offers two bridges where you can cross over to Grant Park. We were able to find parking readily, however, we wish there was public restrooms more available on the trail. We only saw private port-potties. Would recommend this trail for a good walk and view of the town."
"Poorly designed trail, inaccurate/incomplete and misleading signage, and no readily available/easily accessible restrooms nearby. The maps show city hall as the public restroom. Good luck finding it- the map is wrong. Not a bike friendly town at all!!!"
