The trail is located along the Linn Creek and the Iowa River. It links several parks in the area. Snowmobiles are allowed adjacent to the trail, at the bottom of the dike. The surface is paved. You will hike through prairie grassy areas where you can observe wild flowers. With views of the river and creek throughout, some wooded patches and a little variation on the elevation, this is a good trail to hike, bike, cross-country skiing, in-line skating and snowmobiling.
