The 26-mile former railroad line stretches from Dubuque’s North End west to Dyersville, connecting many of the county’s communities, with a shady gravel walk.
Cyclists, hikers, joggers and equestrians have grown to love this path through railroad cuts, along and over creeks on a dozen bridges, through working farmland, prairie and dense woodland alike. The path is small chipped gravel, so easy on the feet, and a great place to beat the summer heat.
