When finished, the High Line Trail will stretch 8 miles across Mason City, IA and connect to other local trail routes. In 2023, the trail's first 3 miles opened from 12th St. NE to 19th St. SE.
The rail-trail follows an old UP railroad and will be extended north in the future to become an 8-mile route. The completed route will also one day pass through the historic Rock Creek-Rock Glen Neighborhood, which features impressive Frank Lloyd Wright homes.
As of now, there is no designated parking for this trail.
I rode this new trail for the first time today. I have lived here many years and I saw parts of town I haven't seen before. There was some on street riding with not a lot of signage so use the TL map and you won't go wrong. Very enjoyable!
