Wapsipinicon Trail
The trail will connect Wapsipinicon State Park and the historic Hale Bridge to the Anamosa by a 10 foot wide paved trail.
Phase 1, a half-mile paved pathway, was completed in 2019 and Phase 2 completed the second half mile of a 1 mile stretch of a 10 foot wide concrete trail reaching from the intersection of East 3rd Street and Shaw Road all the way to the Historic Hale Bridge. From there, trail users can cross the bridge over the Wapsipinicon River to enter Wapsipincion State Park.
A two foot buffer of turf grass is planted along the edge of the trail and native prairie plantings have been added. The community excitement for this trail reflects the growing importance and value of recreational trails for both physical and mental health wellness.
