This is a high-quality, wide trail, mostly winding through trees, and an open area at the top of the hill past the cemetery. Hills are fairly steep. There are no lights on the trail, so at night most of it is quite dark. I went for it anyway, and it's nearly pitch black in places, but because the path is so well done, I still had no problems tripping on holes or branches. (A little nerve-wracking, but no physical troubles.)
The trails ends in a gully. It looks like they are revising the water drainage, but there’s no warning signs until the trail abruptly ends at a impassable gully.
My son and I just started riding trails. This was our first day and we enjoyed this trail. We liked the different scenery. I really enjoyed riding through the tree shaded areas and the pasture area. Being it was our first time there we did get a little confused as to where the trail went when we got in town. We watched another bicyclist and figured it out.I definitely recommend this trail.
My son and I rode our bikes on this trail for the first time. We enjoyed the paved trail and all the wonderful smells of the plants along the way. I highly suggest this trail especially if you are just starting out to ride bike trails (like us).
I love this trail. It's very scenic. Past small creeks with many chorus frogs and birds. This trail is full of blooming trees and Queen Anne's Lace. I walk my dogs there several times a week. There are work out platforms along the way for sit ups, pull ups if that's your thing. There is a very nice small shaded picnic area, a gazebo and so on. It's well kept except in the winter. If you prefer a longer trail, just take 2 or 3 times around it. You'll see something different each time.
While the view is very nice; the trail itself is poor for biking on as it's concrete and not clear of debris. The concrete is broken in several places, and poorly patched with asphalt in other places. Low hanging branches obscuring half the trail as well as leaves, twigs and large puddles of water make it dangerous in places. The worst danger though is the people walking in the middle of the path and failing to move aside when passing or failing to curb their dogs! As it is, it's a poorly maintained nature walk and dangerous for bikers and runners.
Definitely hit this trail as a break from a long road trip on I-35. The flat, paved trail starts east of Lamoni, goes past Graceland College, through downtown, and then enters its most picturesque stretch west of town. Here it meanders through a working field, past a nice small lake and terminates at the historic Liberty Hall. The trail is in excellent condition. There is a nice coffee shop a few blocks off the trail in the center of town.
