We invite you to experience all that this extensive trail system has to offer . . . you’ll find it to be your way of connecting with places, nature, friends and culture. Discover and enjoy the bustling downtown of Iowa’s capital city and the historic town squares of our small rural communities, all by trail! This map is your key to safe recreation and entertainment along major regional and neighborhood multi-purpose trails in the heart of Iowa.

With over 300 miles of existing trails and many more planned, you can run, walk, in-line skate, or bicycle. Whether you are out for an afternoon of exercise, commuting to work, or enjoying
the scenery on a family outing, the trails are yours to enjoy and protect.

We ask that you be alert while using the trail system; while there are many miles of off-street trails to traverse, you may need to use an on-street bike lane or sidewalk during your trip. Obey all traffic rules and use caution at road crossings.

Enjoy your trails,

Prairie Meadows,
