"We've never had a bike-optimized trail system in central Iowa before, so it feels like a big thing for us," Adam Fendrick, park planner for Polk County Conservation, tells Bike Mag. "Iowa's not the first place you think of for mountain biking, but we have a pretty energized community here. People finally have a place to ride singletrack with jumps and other features."
"We went in and ripped out acres of invasive species and trash, and made timber stand improvements for wildlife, so while we were in there we decided it was the perfect opportunity to design a trail system for public use," Fendrick says. "It's great to see conservation benefiting wildlife and the people who live here."
