Linn Creek Trail
The Linn Creek Recreational Trail is a hard-surfaced linear trail built mainly on the dike along Linn Creek and the Iowa River in Marshalltown. The trail and several short loops link areas that provide a variety of outdoor diversions: camping at Riverview Park, the Nicholson-Ford Wetlands and OHV Park, the Marshalltown Family Aquatic Center, adult softball and Little League diamonds, playgrounds and picnic areas, and the Grimes Farm and Conservation Center. Trail users can observe views of river bottom timberland and marshes, as well as prairie grasses and wildflowers.
The trail is a collaborative project of the City of Marshalltown, Marshall County Conservation Board, and Region Six Planning Commission.
