About This Trail

Imported description
The Mahaska Community Recreation Trail has been open for 13 years and is enjoyed by many residents and visitors. It's convenient to student life because the trail is ten feet wide and includes University Park. The scenery may come as a surprise to you because you will get a flavour of the city. One of the trail heads has a restroom, water, and parking, and the other one has a bike shop with accessories and even a bike. The third trailhead was donated by the local Rotarians and has a gazebo, but no restrooms or running water. There is a trail head near the overpass.
