Description:
The Waverly Rail Trail is part of the Rolling Prairie Tri-County Trail System, which consists of several segments; as of summer 2011, four additional segments are complete:

The 6-mile Rolling Prairie Trail, from Allison to Clarksville.

The 5.5-mile Shell Rock River Trail, also known as the Butler County Nature Trail, which extends from Clarksville to Shell Rock.

The 7.5 mile Waverly Rail Trail is one of northeast Iowa's finest scenic bike and hike trails. Beginning on the west side of the Cedar River in Waverly, the trail heads southeast and crosses an awe-inspiring bridge over Cedar River through downtown. The trail passes through woodlands as it makes it way south and east, crossing 7 more bridges and providing scenic views of the surrounding farmland and woodlands.

A recent extension from US 93 heads south to the town of Denver (2 miles) and another extension heads east to pick up the Readlyn Grump Trail (6 miles).

Waverly Trail
By Noel Keller in September, 2006
"This is indeed a fine trail. Peddled it on my tadpole Tri-Cruiser on Aug 29, 2006. Started from East side of Cedar River with good parking. Great River Bridge and real Country Vistas."
