Sugar Bottom Trail is a 6.9 mile loop hike that takes you by a lake located near Solon, Iowa.

Sugar Bottom Trail is a moderately trafficked trail that is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, and mountain biking. This trail is perfect during the summer but during the rainier months of the year we recommend checking the trail's website because it is subject to closure due to flooding (Please check the ICORR page for up-to-date trail conditions.).

If you're looking to hike or bird watch, be aware that this trail is heavily trafficked by mountain bikers for it's high quality. This trial is very convent for people who are biking in from North Liberty. If you are looking to ride in from North Liberty it is easiest to commute on my bike via Mehaffey bridge paved trail. Historically there are many more bikers than hikers on this trail because the terrain can be harsh at points to walk on foot, stay aware of bikers!

Really neat trail with mountain bike trail nearby. There’s a campground close as well. Lots of bikers in the area. Definitely would recommend if you’re in the Iowa City area!

Hike to the Lake Macbride Waterfall

Where's the fun in driving right up to your scenic destination? Here's how we had a more adventurous day at the lake by hopping off the beaten path: Just as you enter the park from County Road F16 coming out of the small town of Solon, IA you will see a small, grass parking lot on your right (this lot has been marked by the pin on the map below). On the opposite side of the street is the entran...

Explore Columbus Junction's Swinging Bridge

The Swinging Bridge is one of the main attractions in Columbus Junction, Iowa. The highway runs straight through town. As you drive into town you will see multiple signs about the bridge. About half-way through town you will take a left, and the bridge is only a few yards away. It is free to walk across the bridge. The bridge is a fun place to hang out with friends and relax. We tied a hammock...

From the parking lot, the trail splits, howev...

Other attractions in the northern half of the park include the Natural Bridge and the northern section of Racoon Creek.I...

Hike Whitewater Canyon Wildlife Area

Whitewater Canyon Wildlife Area is such a cool find. When you first arrive it appears to be a massive plot of farm land. As you continue to hike and get into the wooded area, you begin to hear rushing water. Before you know it you're standing on a jaw-dropping overlook of 1 of the 3 canyons in the state of Iowa. There is a winding river through the gut with beautiful landscape and bluffs. Great...

Hike Robinson Bird Sanctuary

This year for Earth day, I decided to hike one of my favorite trails near Waterloo, Robinson Bird Sanctuary. I love exploring this area during the spring season because of the beautiful Bluebell flowers that cover the woods. The colors are so bright and imaginative on the trail, it makes it feel as if you're hiking through a fairy tale. I wanted to capture the trails beauty during spring blosso...
