Iowa
Cedar Rapids to Waterloo

At Hiawatha, a suburb north of Cedar Rapids, the ADT joins the 52-mile Cedar Valley Nature Trail, one of our nation's first rail-trail projects. This limestone path following the Red Cedar River is well used by local residents. There are railroad depots at Center Point and Gilbertville that have been faithfully restored. The northern end of the Cedar Valley Nature Trail is across from Deerwood Park in Evansdale. The Cedar Prairie Trail, a newly developing trail, will begin here and take the ADT into Waterloo where the Cedar Valley Lakes Trail and trails in George Wyth Memorial State Park become the route.
