The Harry Cook Nature Trail runs for 2 miles from the edge of the small city of Osage, Iowa to the city's public Spring Park. The trail, which opened in the early 1990s, occupies the bed of an abandoned railroad corridor and winds through dense tree cover. For most of its route, the trail runs adjacent to Cedar River.
Parking can be found at Spring Park at the western end of the Harry Cook Nature Trail. The park has a large picnic area and bathrooms, as well as a primitive camping area.
This is a good trail but pretty short. 5 stars.. Traveling cyclist Facebook
This trail is great for small hikes/walks when you’re in a time crunch or just wanting to get out of the house for a couple hours! Follows the cedar river for a while and not far from town either.
Nice trail for a run or walk!
