    Hiking

    Peggy's Trail is a loop through Reactor Woods, a small forest behind Iowa State University's Applied Sciences Complex, the former home of the Ames Laboratory Nuclear Research Reactor. Iowa State University played a significant role in uranium refinement for the Manhattan Project and in the development of nuclear energy after WWII. This property is where that research happened.
