Linn Creek Recreational Trail
The Linn Creek Recreational Trail connecting the Grimes Farm to Marshalltown's bike trail system was completed in 2005, This trail uses the Linn Creek Greenway, a natural vegetation corridor, to connect activity sites. The trail and several short loops link areas that provide a variety of outdoor diversions: camping at Riverview Park, the Nicholson-For Wetlands and OHV Park, the Marshalltown Family Aquatic Center, adult softball and Little League diamonds, playgrounds and picnic areas, and the GrimesFarm and Conservation Center. Trail users can observe views of river bottom timberland and marshes, as well as prairie grasses and wildflowers.
Recently, the trail was connected to the Highway 30 trail and the Heart of Iowa Trail at Rhodes.
