I've canoed, camped, hiked, and mountain biked a lot but oddly not much more than fixed position camping here in Indiana. The fine thread posted by Sailor

got me thinking about possible hiking routes. Are there any tracks of land that qualify as publicly accessible to hike like rivers are to canoe? I know from canoe camping that while on the river you really don't have many trespassing concerns but you should plan ahead and pull over to camp where you have permission to avoid trespassing. Are there land based equivalents to that, man made or natural? Like along railroad tracks (some certain distance from the tracks, not on them), or river banks, clearing routes where pipelines or power lines have been placed? I can almost certainly rule out some of these as still being private land that some level of gov. got a right of way for but you know what I mean.
Any thoughts???
I am really talking about areas in addition to places like parks and labeled public property that are well known and labeled as such.
