Mountain Biking Mcfarland Park
#47 of 99 mountain bike trails in Iowa
Fairly hilly (for Iowa) and sandy in spots. Some trails are mowed paths in the
prairie, others are dirt trails with roots and bridges. Overall, it's a wide trail
and good for beginners.

Take exit 116 on Interstate 35 and head west. Turn north (right) on Dayton
Ave. Turn east (right) on 180th St. The parking lot is up the hill and on your
left. McFarland Park shares a parking lot with Story County Conservation.
Nice little ride...easy trail...grass and stone
| ThankThe west side of the park is more dirt trail, the east side is more prairie. The west side starts down the hill from the parking lot. Check the map in the parking lot for details. Some sections are off limits to bikes. Some sections have signs,but if it has stairs, it's probably closed to bikes.
| ThankTo get to Soper's Mill, head east and north and parallel the interstate until you to a road. Follow the road until you reach a T intersection, then head west (left). The Soper's Mill trail head will on your right before you cross the bridge.
