University Avenue Trail

Trail Description
Location
Trail Heads
Sites & Attractions

The University Avenue Trail is an important part of the Cedar Valley Trails System, connecting the western portion of Cedar Falls with Downtown Waterloo. The wide sidewalk/bike path runs along the entire length of the newly reconstructed University Avenue, from Sergeant Road in Waterloo to Main Street in Cedar Falls. There are lots of roundabouts to negotiate, and many stoplights along the way, but it provides a direct urban corridor between the two cities. The trail crosses the Cedar Prairie Trail, Greenhill Trail, and Sergeant Road Trail, so connecting to the rest of the Cedar Valley Trails System is easy.

University Avenue Trail

The trail runs along the side of University Avenue between Sergeant Road in Waterloo and Main Street in Cedar Falls.

Cedar Falls and Waterloo business districts including restaurants, shops, bars, grocery stores, and College Square Mall.
