Water Trails
Cedar Valley Trails actively supports Black Hawk County’s state-designated water trail — the Cedar River Water Trail. Development of additional water trails on Black Hawk Creek and the Wapsi River are also currently under development.
While many waterways in Iowa can be travelled by canoe or kayak, a designated water trail stands apart by having clearly-marked access areas (ramps or steps), parking areas, and a degree of ADA-compliant access.
We are also very proud of the Cedar Valley Paddlers Trail, a 10 mile water and portage trail connecting the lakes of George Wyth State Park, the Hartman Reserve Nature Center , and the Cedar River.
