Cedar Falls Trails Included on National Trail Systems We reported in Fall 2019, the second coastto-coast, multi-use trail system using Cedar Falls trails: The Great American Rail Trail. The American Discovery Trail is the other trail system. Both are composed of larger trail systems which run through the Cedar Valley area. Portions of both trail systems are still being constructed, but many portions—such as ours—are already complete. Bikers from all over the country are excited about this, and many are already riding these trails! Being included in these national trail corridors will bring visitors through our area to bike, hike, and explore our great community! Many communities along these trails are excited for the prospects and the economic enhancement the trails will bring. Though our trail system is already in place and growing, certain portions within George Wyth State Park are in need of repair. Because of flood damage, erosion, and age, significant deterioration has meant the closure of a mile and a half stretch of the North Riverside branch of the trail. Many of you who use the trails have seen the barriers on both ends of this portion of the trail. It is a favorite connection along the Riverside trail with its woods and wildlife, and goes right into the heart of George Wyth State Park. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Cedar Trails Partnership have started a fund to repair this portion of the trail system. While minor fixes may occur this fall, funding is needed for a full removal and replacement of this vital trail link. If you wish to contribute to this trail restoration project, the Cedar Trails Partnership is accepting donations online at www.cedartrailspartnership.org/ join-donate or by mail to: Cedar Trails Partnership, 6510 Hudson Rd, Cedar Falls, Iowa 50613. The partnership will match donations up to $20,000, making your investment go even further. For more information about the Great American Rail-Trail visit www.railstotrails.org/ greatamericanrailtrail and for the American Discovery Trail visit www.discoverytrail.org.
