The trail runs from Rochester to Kokomo. RouteThe northern endpoint of the trail starts is in Rochester in Fulton and travels south into Miami through Macy, Deedsville, Denver to the north of Peru. The trail then uses various roadway combinations and picks back up as a separate trail on the west side of the city. From Peru, the trail heads south through Bunker Hill and Miami in Miami County and through Cassville in Howard County, Indiana. PlansCurrently, the trail ends in Howard County, just north of the city of Kokomo. Near-future plans are to continue the trail which currently runs below the new US31 bypass via a "lighted tunnel", over the old US 31 via a pedestrian bridge currently installed and due to open in May 2018.[1] Other communities south of Kokomo have expressed interest in connecting to the Nickel Plate Trail. Recently, Tipton started work on a comprehensive plan with hopes of connecting to the Nickel Plate Trail. Should the Nickel Plate Trail connect to Tipton, the trail would then be near 60 miles in length, meeting the same length of the Cardinal Greenway, the current longest rail trail in Indiana. It would also connect Tipton, Sharpsville, Oakford to Kokomo via an extension of the current Industrial Heritage Trail on the city's south side. See also
