Trails

Recreational Trail System

The park system presently has four trails for hikers, bikers, bladers and boarders.

Rodeo Park Trail Way (1.5 miles)

The trail way offers our citizens a safe and enjoyable experience as they hike and bike throughout Rodeo Park�s natural environment. Walkers and bicyclists can enter the trail at any point in Rodeo Park. The main portion of the trail was covered with an asphalt overlay in 2006 and widened to allow for handicapped accessibility. The trail is closed to motorized vehicles and horses.

The Scenic Drive extension off of the Main Trail is a gravel trail that follows the Scenic Drive Disc Golf Course that winds back into the depths of Rodeo Park.

Ivanhoe Park In-Line Skate Trail (.20 mile)

A winding concrete trail located within Ivanhoe Park is available for in-line skaters and skateboarders. Small ramps and rails are located alongside the trail for beginners and novices alike. For more skillful �boarders� and �bladers�, a skate park located within Ivanhoe Park is also available.

Bluff Road Trail (1.2 miles)

A concrete sidewalk running from 48th Street to Crescent Lane allows walkers and bicyclists a safe and scenic view of the bluffs.

Riverview Park (.25 mile)

A paved walking trail runs from Prum Strass (6th Street) west along the riverfront past the re-creation of Old Fort Madison and the beauty of the Kuhlmeier Reflecting Pond.
