Need to Know

Park at the Tom Harkin Trailhead. Not a ton of parking spots, but it doesn't usually fill up. There are bathrooms, a water fountain, and fix it station at this trailhead.

Description

These are fun trails for riders of all types, from kids starting out to the expert looking to squeeze in some convenient training miles.

You'll find lots of solid wooden bridges over water features and wetlands, sandy soil that tends to drain well after rain, and many urban deer that call these woods home.

In the winter, local riders chip in with snowshoeing and stomping to groom snowy trails for fat biking.
