The 5 Best Running Trails In Iowa City To Check Out

Iowa has a lot of beautiful scenery to offer, and Iowa City is no exception! Now that spring (okay, it’s basically summer already) is here, it’s time to exercise outside again! Grab your running sneakers, because here are the 5 best running trails in Iowa City you should definitely check out.

Iowa River Corridor

At six miles, the Iowa River Corridor (IRC) trail is Iowa City’s longest trail. You can find trail access at City Park, Ned Ashton Park, Napoleon Park, and Crandic Park. If you’re in the mood to push yourself, you won’t find a trail better than this one!

Hickory Hill Park

With 185 acres of forest and abandoned fields, Hickory Hill Park offers several different trails for all your running desires. Plus, you can’t beat the scenery for your Instagram!

Terry Trueblood Recreation Area

The Terry Trueblood Recreation Area is a popular place for walking, bird-watching, and softball games. While it is popular, the trail is wide enough for everyone to enjoy, and the breeze coming off the lake is just enough to keep you cool!

Waterworks Prairie Park

Waterworks Prairie Park offers three miles of paved track; not quite as much as the IRC trail, but still enough to offer a challenge! These running trails in Iowa City are ideal for any runner!

Hunter’s Run Park

If you’re looking for a run with a bit of solitude, check out Hunter’s Run Park! There are a few different trail routes, and because it isn’t as popular as some other trails, it won’t be as crowded! Make sure to take safety precautions though, you can never be too safe these days!
