Iowa River and City Park Stroll (10/22/23)

For this beautiful fall day (mid-60s F, no coats needed), Bob found us a route that took us on a trail along the Iowa River and then in and around City Park.

The Iowa River Trail is a 16-mile paved, multi-use trail network that (not surprisingly) runs mostly along the Iowa River, connecting the communities of Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty.

City Park features a playground, sports fields, pool, and amphitheater. It was buzzing with people watching a rowing meet as well as a couple of girl’s softball games.
