Cycling

The 26-mile Neal Smith Trail rolls along the banks of the Des Moines River through the Ding Darling Greenway conservation area and weaves its way through a variety of landscapes, including riverbanks, wildflower meadows, lakeshores and dense forests. It is fully paved and traffic free, so it is a great way to move about the city along with the other connector trails.
