he Raccoon River Valley Trail (RRVT) is one of only three rail-trails to be nominated this year for the Hall of Fame of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. Hall of Fame selection is done through a public vote which takes place July 30 through Aug. 6.
The voting form will be available on the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy website once voting starts July 30.If the RRVT is selected, it would join more than 30 iconic trails nationally recognized in the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame.
“Being nominated for the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame is an honor,” said Mike Wallace, executive director of the Dallas County Conservation Board and RRVT Association board member. “Winning the vote would not only bring the RRVT national attention but also bring trail enthusiasts as tourists to central Iowa.”
