The MCT Nature Trail stretches between the cities of Granite City and Edwardsville leading through wooded terrain past diverse scenery including Horseshoe Lake and a college campus. The trail is one of the many MCT trails in the area and is popular with both students and recreational users. The trail is very scenic and also provides lots of opportunity for viewing wildlife and plantlife. The trail is all asphalt and is fairly flat making it a nice trail to ride for cyclists of all skill levels. The trail connects to many of the other trails within the MCT system making it easy for customizing a ride that explores even more of Madison County.
