and even horseback riding on the equestrian trails that parallel parts of the
trail are some of the great ways to experience the Wabash Trace. User fee
required: $1.00/day or $10.00/year.
Trail Description: Former railroad corridor converted to a multi-use trail; trail
width 10 feet, corridor width 100 feet.

Crushed limestone. Better maintained closer to Council Bluffs. A lot of use, especially on Thursday evenings so avoid if you don't like crowds. Easy ride, shaded, beginner skill level needed.
| ThankIt's relatively easy and perfect for scenic countryside view. Even though I'm intermediate level, I still enjoy this trail a lot.
| ThankEasy ride. Relaxing. The horse trails on the side are good for short spurts of off roadness. Taco ride, of course, is a favorite. * Review edited 3/15/2012
