Enjoy the Trails We Have!As the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy says, “One of the most important ways that you can show that trails are essential to your community is by getting out and using these spaces as part of your everyday life.” Visit Cass County’s trails and invite your friends and family.
Cass County is home to multiple walking and biking trails. In addition to the T-Bone Trail, some of the most popular trails in Cass County include: the four-mile paved trail circling Lake Anita State Park, paved and grass trails at Cold Spring Park near Lewis, and the paved and gravel trail system north of Atlantic connecting the Schildberg Recreation Area, the Little League ball diamonds, and the AMU wellfields.
