Dear ACT:
There is an additional 20 miles of trail marked on area roads.  Is this trail actually ’on’ the road or a sidewalk that follows the road along side? —Road
Dear Road:
The additional miles of trail are a designated bike route on the road. For these portions of the trail bikes and cars share the road. In the future the Amana Colonies Trails Inc would like to connect the rest of the Amana Colonies by extending the existing recreational trail.  —ACT
