Description:
The Clive Greenbelt Trail meanders along the northern bank of Walnut Creek through the Des Moines suburbs of Windsor Heights and Clive. Because of the many twists and turns on the high-traffic trail, cyclists should watch out for runners and pedestrians by reducing their speed and taking it easy on the corners.

The trail follows a wooded corridor, which offers shade in summer and lovely colors in autumn. At its western end, the Clive Greenbelt links up with the Raccoon River Valley Trail at the intersection of US 6 (Hickman Road) and NW 156th Street and also farther east along US 6 just east of Woodlands Parkway.

Urban Trail with nice scenery.
By mlbattani in June, 2011
Even though this is an urban trail it is very scenic because it follows the creek. Lots of trees. Surprising for an urban trail. Links up with Raccoon River trail.

This review is very accurate. While a beautiful trail to ride along the creek, it is very winding and used by runners, bikers, and people walking their dogs. You have to be very careful to avoid others, and if you are a biker that likes to go 20 mph, forget it, there are a lot of bikes traveling 10 mph.

but if you want a very relaxing ride, this would suffice.
