Celebrate Trails Day was a colossal success in the Cedar Valley. Shoot out to Cedar Valley Cyclist, Waterloo Exchange Club, Tavis Hall and his supporters, Boy and Girl Scout troops, Cedar Valley Unitarian Universalists and all the volunteers who collected well over 200 bags of trash along or near our trail network. Huge thanks for not only making a positive impact on our trail system but improving the environment for future generations!

Spring Soft Trail Etiquette - The wet seasons of s

Spring Soft Trail Etiquette - The wet seasons of spring and fall are when soft trails are most vulnerable to damage. If it’s muddy enough that you leave a rut or footprint, please stay off the soft trails. These ruts and footprints will eventually dry like pavement and will directly impact the experience of other trail users. During the wet season utilize multi-use trails that are either paved or graveled. #leavenotrace #cedarvalleytrails #CVAST #ingawaniswoodlands #iowatrails #waterloobicycleworks #georgewythstatepark #hartmanreserve

Just wanted to say thanks to Hartman Reserve Natur

Just wanted to say thanks to Hartman Reserve Nature Center for holding the Frosty Bun snowshoe race and to Scott Gall for mapping out a exciting trail to run on. The Frosty Buns race is always a fun adventure with Iowa winters. Come do the Sticky Stride trail running event held on Sat. March 12th by Hartmann Reserve and take part in the Maple syrup event following the race. Who doesn't enjoy some fresh Cedar Valley maple syrup!
