This past spring the Grundy County Conservation Board approved the use of snowmobiles on the trail segment from Beaman to Conrad when sufficient snow fall is present.

The Comet Trail was constructed in the mid 1980's upon abandonment of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. The trail starts in Conrad at the Aquatic Center, and meanders south through town to where Wolf Creek crosses D-67 on the west side of Conrad. It's here where it picks up on the abandoned railroad bed and runs east to Beaman, where a slight detour is taken on Market Street before hopping back on the trail on the east edge of Beaman where it progresses east to Wolf Creek Recreation Area. At the Wolf Creek Recreation Area, there is a spur off the trail that crosses a suspension bridge over Wolf Creek and ends up in one of the camping areas at the Park. The main segment of the trail then continues east, crossing into Tama County and eventually ending at AA avenue in Tama County. In 2007, the Tama County Conservation Board acquired the railroad right of way from Gladbrook to AA Avenue (with a slight detour), and named it the Wolf Creek Trail. This trail is also crushed limestone (like the Comet Trail) with the exception of an approximate 1/2 section that is paved west of Gladbrook. With the addition of the Wolf Creek Trail, one can bike from Conrad through Beaman to Gladbrook and back, which makes a nice ride.

This trail follows Wolf Creek, which has an abundance of wildlife given the surrounding area is primarily agricultural in nature (row crops). There are wooded segments around Conrad, again near Beaman, and then near the Wolf Creek Recreation Area. The balance of the trail is mostly open country. The trail is quite flat, and there are a number of small creeks over which the trail crosses using nice wooden or cement surfaced railroad trestles. Camping is available at the Wolf Creek Recreation area near Beaman, and services (food, conveniences, etc) are available in Conrad, Beaman and Gladbrook.

The trail is well maintained by the Grundy County Conservation Board, and is used year round for recreational opportunities. Each May on Memorial Day Weekend, the City of Beaman holds the "Gemini Run" which is a running/walking race on the trail from Wolf Creek Park to downtown Beaman as part of its annual Memorial Day celebration.
