Description:
From Gateway Park, cross the river and take the Cedar Prairie Trail south. In just a few miles, you'll be passing fields of corn shimmering in the sunlight. The path travels over gently rolling hills, crosses Ridgeway Avenue and passes the Soccer Complex, then enters the Katoski Greenbelt, a beautiful, tree-lined path beside Black Hawk Creek. This trail does loop back to Gateway Park by following the Sergeant Road trail and connecting with the South Riverside Trail.

Cedar Falls Trail
By mlbattani in June, 2011
This trail is part of the bigger Cedar Valley trail system. My husband and I spent the weekend at George Wyth State Park and rode most the the trail system. It connects right in the park. Really nice trail with loops so you can go out on multiple days and go different directions and end up back at home base. We did most of the trail in two days. Everything was great, plenty of amenities along the trail. Downtown Cedar Falls very bike friendly with lots of bike racks. Great restaurants,we ate at Montage, expensive but good.

Did have one stretch that went through industrial area that was a bit sketchy, say a drug deal going on, also ended up in an area that had condemned homes from flooding that was a bit sketchy also. We will definitely make this an annual excursion.
