Although not yet completed, the proposed Mississippi
River Trail is sure to be an interesting journey, namely when it weaves
its way down the eastern Iowa border. Regardless of where you pick up
the trail, you will encounter a healthy amount of intrigue as you stop
along the way.
This is a bicycle-only trail that stretches over 2000 miles through
the heart of Midwest America parallel to the great Mississippi River.
From Minnesota to Mississippi, it is a long-distance cyclist’s
dream.
The span that moves through Iowa is expected to not only provide bicyclists
with amazing views and breathtaking natural habitats, but it will also
be a sort of brief Iowa history lesson. Those path will lead through
Dubuque, Quad City, Effigy Mounds, various landmarks and the picturesque
landscapes that make up the river’s storied banks.
When finally completed, the Trail will expose a new perspective for
cyclists and provide a unique overview of the Mississippi and her grand
gulf-bound river. |
