n a day Iowa seemed made for, Pottawattamie County folks got the bikes out and made for the hills and trails to celebrate the opening of the newly completed segment of the Railroad Highway Multi-Use Trail Saturday, May 13.
The officers from the Pottawattamie County Conservation and the Pottawattamie County Trails Association, Inc., were on hand to complete a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the trail. To complete the ceremony, the Pottawattamie County Trails Association presented the Community Foundation for Western Iowa with a $10,000 check in support of the Association’s fund, which was established to finance trail maintenance.
The trail, which runs parallel to the railroad tracks and Railroad Highway north of Council Bluffs, has been a project for the Pottawattamie County Trail Association and the Pottawattamie County Conservation for some time.
