The trails are all multi use, hiking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and mountain biking are allowed. Camping is available and very popular. If you are planning on fishing at the Missouri River and Wilson Island, you must have an Iowa or Nebraska fishing license. A boat ramp provides access to the river on this trail. North of the Wilson Island is the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, where you can enjoy the artifacts of the sunken steamboat Bertrand and educational presentations on the Missouri River and wildlife conservation history.
