The Watershed Trail is a 4.7-mile long (7.6 km) rail trail from Roxana to Edwardsville, Illinois, that follows an old section of Illinois Terminal Railroad tracks.

The eastern end of the trail is in Edwardsville on West High Street just west of North 2nd Street The near the intersection of Old Alton Edwardsville Road and Wanda Road (38°49′58.8″N 90°2′19.1″W / 38.833000°N 90.038639°W / 38.833000; -90.038639). The western end in Roxana is near the intersection of Old Alton Edwardsville Road and Wanda Road (38°48′50.6″N 89°57′38.3″W / 38.814056°N 89.960639°W / 38.814056; -89.960639).

The trail is owned and maintained by Madison County Transit. The major feature of the trail is the view provided on the Cahokia Creek Bridge, which is a Warren deck truss structure that sits at least 40 feet (12 m) above Cahokia Creek.
