This short segment does not require much description. It is a straight section of bike trail laid down on a former railbed and useful for through hikers as a way to avoid hiking along sidewalks and roads to access Milton from the paved Janesville Section. On the Janesville end there is a freeway exit commercial district with shopping, restaurants, and a few hotels. These hotels are a popular place for through hikers to bed down in the southern hook of the IAT.
