One of my favorite state parks even if they don’t care about cyclists as much as boaters. Ride the road not the neglected bike trail.

This gazebo is a nice spot for a mid-ride break. The Oasis sits along the High Trestle trail and has a picnic table, water fountains, and restrooms.

Bike maintenance area (including tools and air pump) and shelter right next to viewing area.

Pause your ride at Saylorville Dam for scenic views. This dam on the Des Moines River in Iowa is only 11 miles upstream from Des Moines, offering a great place to hop off your bike and take a break!

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.

Big Creek State Park is a very popular park for cycling and hiking. Big Creek Lake, at the center of the park, is the largest lake in the Iowa State Park system. The park has a swimming beach, paved bike and walking paths, restrooms and picnic areas.

The High Trestle Trail is a 25-mile trail that runs through five towns. It was built on an old rail bed and is mostly flat. It is fully paved and is not a difficult path, so it is a great place for a family ride.
